Individualized Education Program (IEP)

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a customized educational plan designed to support students with disabilities, such as ADHD, autism, or learning impairments, by addressing their unique learning needs. Developed collaboratively by parents, teachers, and specialists under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the IEP outlines specific goals and services, including special education and therapies. Tailored to each student, IEPs ensure they learn in the least restrictive environment, promoting their success alongside peers whenever possible. Annual reviews allow for adjustments, ensuring continued support as needs evolve.
