What is an IEP?
IEP is an acronym for Individualized Education Program (or Plan). An IEP is a written legal document or also called a “plan”) developed by a group of professionals and parents that includes school staff, classroom teachers, and evaluators for a child determined eligible for Special Education services. Each IEP serves as a map for that child and lays out the program for special education instruction, support, and services needed to progress and succeed in school.
Who gets IEPs
IEPs are typically part of public education. They’re given to eligible kids, ages three and up, who attend public schools, including charter schools.
Students must have one or more of the 13 conditions covered under IDEA, such as learning disabilities like dyslexia and dyscalculia and health impairments like ADHD or Autism Spectrum.
Private schools don’t offer IEPs, but may be able to get special education through what’s known as a service plan, also called an Individual Services Plan. In addition, many private schools work with their local district office to send an evaluator. This varies by district and available funding.
There are no IEPs in college. But eligible students often can still get accommodations through college disability services.
Why get an IEP?
Once determining a student’s strengths and challenges, families, and schools use the IEP to create a program of services and support tailored to meet the student’s needs. Having an IEP gives students, families, and schools legal protections. It lets families be involved in decisions that impact their child’s education.
IEPs are ongoing. Each child’s IEP must be reviewed annually (or sooner, if necessary) to determine whether the goals are being achieved and must be revised.
How to get an IEP?
The first step to acquiring an IEP for a student is to determine their eligibility for special education services by requesting an evaluation either at school (for free) or from a private company. Suppose the student is determined to be eligible for an IEP. In that case, a meeting will take place that will involve the parent and any involved school professionals like the teacher, a speech and language pathologist, or an occupational therapist.
Once a student is eligible, the IEP and the services and accommodations outlined should begin within 30 days.
IEP vs. 504 Plan
Both plans help students who may need specialized help or accommodations in school. IEPs relate to children who require Special Education Services, while 504 plans are for children who may need specific accommodations or services within the General Education environment. 504 Plans cover a much more comprehensive range of disabilities than the 13 protected in the IDEA act relating to IEPs.
