What is an Individualized Education Program (IEP)?

-
Current Performance: A detailed overview of the child’s current abilities and areas of need.

Goals: Specific, measurable annual goals that address the child's educational needs.
-
Services: A description of the special education services and supports the child will receive.
-
Accommodations: Adjustments to the learning environment or teaching methods to help the child succeed.
-
Participation: Information on how the child will participate in general education settings and activities.
-
Progress Monitoring: Methods for tracking and reporting the child's progress toward the IEP goals.
