What is an IEP? Who develops the IEP and when?
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) means a written evaluation plan for a child with a disability that outlines the special education and related services to be received. The team developing the IEP is comprised of the parents, school professionals, and the student when appropriate. This is done at a meeting, which is scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. The written document is a record of the IEP Team meeting.
