Learn from the experts who actually know how to use the IEP development process to improve student functional outcomes and close the educational gap.

The short and sweet IEP overview.

For kids to receive services, they need an IEP — an Individualized Education Program. If your child has been evaluated, the process of getting an IEP has already begun. But there’s still a lot to learn about how the IEP process works and what your role will be.

This resource covers all the required parts of an IEP that are outlined in the federal regulations and gives an example of how an IEP form may look. Some sections of the IEP require discussion, but the documentation of the discussion on the IEP form may be optional. School districts will want to document that a particular requirement was discussed.
