IEPs and Related Services
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
The IEP documents your child's eligibility for special education services and formalizes the school system's plan to provide special education services that are appropriate for his or her unique needs. It contains specific information about your child and the education program designed to meet these needs, including:
- Your child's current performance in school and goals that can be reasonably accomplished in a school year;
- Special education and related services, including counseling; speech, occupational or physical therapy; paraprofessional support; assistive technology; behavior intervention and modifications;
- Participation with non-disabled children and/or mainstreaming opportunities;
- Participation in state and citywide tests, promotion criteria and diploma objectives;
- Date services will begin, how often they will be provided, where they will be provided and for how long;
- Means of measuring your child's progress.
