What's an IEP?

Students who need extra help and support in school may be eligible for special education services in the form of anindividualized education program (IEP). This program is offered free of charge to families of kids in public schools and outlines the goals and any support services that may be needed for a child to succeed in school.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) says that parents and guardians of students with disabilities or special health care needs are important members of their child's education team. They should work with educators to develop a plan that helps kids succeed in school.

Understanding how to get and use these services will help your child be as successful as possible in school.

Who Needs an IEP?

Students who are eligible for special education services need an IEP. While there are many reasons that students could be eligible, some common conditions include:

How Are Services Offered?

In most cases, the services and goals outlined in an IEP can be offered in a general school environment. This can be done in the regular classroom (for example, a reading teacher helps a small group of children who need extra help while the other kids in the class work with the regular teacher.) The small group serves students with similar needs who are brought together for help.

Every effort is made to help kids learn alongside their peers who do not have disabilities. But sometimes the level of support needed can't be met in a general classroom, so students are educated in a specialized learning classroom that is more appropriate for their needs. These classes have fewer students per teacher and allow for more one-on-one instruction. The teacher usually has training in helping kids with special educational needs. Students spend most of their day in a small group classroom and join the regular classes whenever possible - for example lunch, gym, or the arts.

What's the Referral and Evaluation Process?

The referral process begins when a teacher, parent, or doctor is concerned that a child may be having trouble in the classroom, and the teacher notifies the school counselor or psychologist.

The first step is to gather specific information about the student's progress or academic problems. This may be done through:

a conference with parents

a conference with the student

watching the student in class to assess performance (attention, behavior, work completion, tests, classwork, homework, etc.)

This information helps school officials decide the best next step. Sometimes new classroom strategies are all that's needed to help a child become more successful. If this doesn't work, the child will get an educational assessment, which can find a specific learning disability or other health impairment.

Note: The presence of a disability doesn't automatically guarantee a child will get services. To be eligible, the disability must affect how the child does at school. To decide on a child's eligibility, a team of professionals will consider their observations, as well as how the child does on standardized tests and daily work such as tests, quizzes, classwork, and homework.

Who's On the Team?

As a guardian, you can decide whether to have your child assessed. If you choose to do so, you'll be asked to sign a permission form that will detail who is involved in the process and the types of tests they use. These tests might include measures of specific school skills, such as reading and math or developmental skills, like speech and language.

The professionals on the evaluation team can include:

When the team finishes the assessment, a comprehensive evaluation report is developed. This report includes an educational classification and outlines the skills and support the child will need.

You can review this report before an IEP is developed. If there is something that you don't agree with, work together with the team to come up with a plan that best meets your child's needs.

How Is an IEP Developed?

The next step is an IEP meeting with you and the team to decide what will go into the IEP. A regular teacher should also attend this meeting to offer suggestions for how the plan can help your child progress through the standard education curriculum.

At the meeting, the team will discuss your child's educational needs - as described in the evaluation report - and develop specific, measurable short-term and yearly goals for each of those needs. You can take an active role in developing the goals and determining which skills or areas will receive the most attention.

The cover page of the IEP outlines the support services your child will get and how often they will be provided (for example, occupational therapy twice a week). Support services might include:

Services might also include transportation, test help or modifications, participation in special programs, and the inclusion of transition planning beginning at age 14.

If the team recommends several services, the amount of time they take in the child's school schedule can seem overwhelming. To ease that load, a professional may talk with your child's teacher to come up with strategies that help but won't offer hands-on instruction. For example, an occupational therapist may suggest accommodations for a child with fine-motor problems that affect handwriting, and the classroom teacher would incorporate these suggestions into the handwriting lessons taught to the entire class.

Other services can be delivered right in the classroom, so the child's day isn't interrupted by therapy. The child who has trouble with handwriting might work one-on-one with an occupational therapist while everyone else practices their handwriting skills. When deciding how and where services are offered, the child's comfort and dignity should be a top priority.

Your child's IEP should be reviewed annually to update goals and make sure your child is getting the support that's needed. However, IEPs can be changed at any time on an as-needed basis. If you think your child needs more, fewer, or different services, you can request a meeting and bring the team together to discuss your concerns.

What Are My Legal Rights?

Guidelines (sometimes called procedural safeguards) outline your rights as a parent to control what happens to your child throughout the IEP process. For example, timelines ensure that the development of an IEP moves from referral to providing services as quickly as possible. When your child is referred, ask about this timeline and get a copy of your parents' rights.

The parents' rights also describe how you can proceed if you disagree with any part of the evaluation report or the IEP - mediation and hearings are some options. You can get information about low-cost or free legal representation from the school district or through early intervention programs.

Attorneys and paid advocates familiar with the IEP process will provide representation if you need it. You also may invite anyone who knows or works with your child whose input you feel would be helpful to join the IEP team. Federally supported programs in each state support parent-to-parent information and training activities for parents of children with special needs. The Parent Training and Information Projects conduct workshops, publish newsletters, and answer questions by phone or by mail about parent-to-parent activities.

What Else Should I Know?

Parents have the right to choose where their kids will be educated. This choice includes public or private elementary schools and secondary schools, including religious schools. It also includes charter schools and home schools.

But parents should know that the rights of children with disabilities who are placed in private elementary schools and secondary schools are not the same as children with disabilities who are enrolled in public schools.

Two major differences that parents, teachers, school staff, private school representatives, and kids need to know about are:

1. Children with disabilities who are placed by their parents in private schools may not get the same services they would get in a public school.

2. Not all kids with disabilities placed by their parents in private schools will get services.

The IEP process is complex, but it's also an effective way to address how your child learns. If you have concerns, be sure to ask about the evaluation findings or the goals recommended by your child's IEP team. You know your child best and should play a central role in creating a learning plan tailored to their specific needs.

Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) (for Parents)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Some kids may be eligible for individualized education programs in public schools, free of charge. Understanding how to access these services can help you be an effective advocate for your child.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of a protocol an Irish school has readily available on their website. It gives a good insight as to the standards schools expect when developing IEPs for their students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a written document prepared for a named student. Specifies the learning goals that are to be achieved by the student over a set period of time (usually one year) and the teaching strategies, resources and supports necessary to achieve those goals.

An IEP may usefully be thought of as a product. However, there is also a process involved in developing the plan and it is the quality of this process that determines the quality and effectiveness of the Plan. The Individual Education Plan is developed through a collaborative process involving the school, parents, the student (where appropriate) Enable Ireland Therapeutic staff and other relevant personnel or agencies. It refers to the adapted or modified aspects of the educational programme and focuses on priority learning needs, although the student may also have other learning needs that will not require the same intensive degree of planning and monitoring.

Not every aspect of the curriculum and school life needs to be modified for every student with special educational needs - only those areas of identified need arising from assessment should be covered. The amount of adaptation and support will vary according to the individual learning needs of each student. Some students with more complex needs may require significant educational modifications.

In this way the I.E.P. should become a practical, working document.
An IEP should be:

a plan of action

a tool for communication and collaboration

a record of progress

a framework for decision making

An IEP should:

have a learning element

be built on the curriculum the pupil is following

make use of programmes, activities and materials which are available

be implemented as far as possible in the normal classroom or clinic setting

An IEP should set out:

the nature of the pupil's learning difficulty

the special needs provision required such as o staff involved, including the frequency of support

external specialists involved, including frequency and timing

help from parents at home

specific programmes/activities/materials and equipment

targets to be achieved in a given time

monitoring and assessment arrangements

review arrangements and date

Targets are sometimes called behavioural, instructional or performance objectives. They should describe the knowledge, skills or understanding that a pupil is expected to have by the end of a particular time period.

Targets should be SMART:

S Specific (behaviour, conditions, criteria)

M Manageable and measurable

A Achievable and agreed

R Realistic and reviewable

T Time bounded
Targets should include
1. Behaviour: the observable action; what the pupil must do to demonstrate mastery of the task (e.g. "say the alphabet")

2. Conditions: the conditions under which that behaviour is expected to occur (e.g. "given the oral direction, say the alphabet from memory")

3. Criteria for Acceptable Performance: to what extent the pupil will be able to perform the action (e.g. "...in thirty seconds with 100% accuracy")

While Individualised Educational Plans must be personal and specific to each individual pupil's needs, teaches can use dedicated software such as IEP Writer 2 or IEP Manager, to assist with the preparation of I.E.P.s. Teachers are required to use the same format and conduct a whole school approach.
IEP Formulation School Administration
The school administration will:

Link with the Clinic administrator during January each year and agree dates for October, mindful that IEP/Family meetings are complete before October mid-term break.

Book reasonable accommodation in the school building for IEP/Family meetings.

Set dates for individual families and liaise with families during June to be finalised before the commencement of summer holidays.

In September send out IEP forms to each family, ensure its return and dispersal to the teacher and therapists.

Circulate student forms to each class and record returns.

During October remind parents by school text of their IEP appointment.

Ensure minutes of the meeting are typed, circulated, agreed and finalised.

Keep record of final IEP and minutes of meeting.

Teaching staff
The teacher will:

Consult each of the pupil's file taking careful note of previous IEPs, End of year reports, Psychological and other therapists reports and other pertinent documentation.

Consult the completed parents IEP form

Consult the Student IEP form.

Contact the parent by phone and discuss the contents of the both IEP forms.

Formulate a draft IEP before the IEP / Family meeting based on the information gained.

Attend the IEP Family meeting and present the IEP and lead discussion on recommendations.

Amend the IEP as appropriate and forward to school administrator.

Request parent's agreement and signature of the Final IEP document.

The following forms of assessment will be used:

Observation

Specifically- designed tasks and tests (checklists)

Work samples and portfolios

Assessments and reports from psychologists, speech therapist, occupational therapist, behaviour therapist,

Reports from previous placements and professionals

Information from parents/guardians and special needs assistants.

The school designed checklists will be based on the following areas:
1. Communication and Language

2. Physical

3. Multisensory

4. Cognitive

5. Social Skills

6. Science Assessment

These assessments will be carried out by the class teacher at the beginning during and end of each year.
Parents
Parents provide a perspective on their children that is different from that of the professionals involved with the child. Parents are the source of vital information about the child's developmental history. Parents can often provide valuable information about the child's medical history/requirements, educational history strengths and gifts and emotional and social needs.
Parents are asked to consider:

What are your child's strengths?

What are your concerns regarding your child's education?

What were the results of your child's evaluation?

What are your child's academic, developmental, and functional needs?

Is the child's behavior interfering with her education?

Is the child's education hindered by a limited understanding of the English language?

Is the child visually impaired and in need of Braille instruction?

Is the child deaf or hearing impaired and needing to develop special communication skills?

Is there any special technology that will aid the child's educational development?

Complete the IEP Parents form in consultation with all members of the family.

Speak with the teacher about your priorities for the coming year.

Therapists and other professionals

The range of professionals consulted in relation to a child's educational programme may vary as appropriate. The information provided by such professionals may include: information about the child's medical needs, physical or sensory development, cognitive functioning, emotional and/or behavioural development, speech and language, communication, hearing and/or vision. Information gathered from these professionals can help determine the child's strengths and needs across a range of functioning.

All therapist involved and working with the child are invited to the IEP meeting and their view and inputs are recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

IEP Process

The school secretary will book suitable accommodation in January each year for the following October.

In June the school secretary will link with the School Clinic Administrator and draw up a timetable of IEPs for the following October.

In September the School Clinic Team Co-ordinator and the Principal will host a Parent's meeting to explain the IEP process and encourage participation. Pre IEP forms will be distributed at this meeting and sent home with each child.

The school secretary will ensure return of IEP forms and distribution to all staff (school and clinic)

Teachers will administer child friendly pre IEP forms to parents and students and ensure their return. The school secretary will ensure all staff receive copies of this form.

Teachers will phone parents and discuss learning targets based on returned forms. (Parents and Students)

Therapist will ring parents and discuss therapy goals with parents based on information supplied in the IEP forms.

Teacher will construct DRAFT IEP document

Therapists will construct DRAFT Therapy plan

Teacher, SNAs, Parents, student and all relevant therapists will attend scheduled meeting and finalize teachers and therapist's goals.

The teacher will write up the IEP and distribute to parents for signing.

A copy of the IEP will be lodged with the school Office for storage.

Parents are offed a review of the IEP or parent / teacher each February.

The IEP process will be reviewed during the May Teacher staff meeting.

The preparation and construction of a pupil's IEP is an important part of the school year. The school is committed to this resource and will review the process with all parties on an annual basis.

Individual Education Plans (IEP) are documents that identify children's special educational needs and set goals to meet those needs. For example, if social skills are a problem for a child, part of their IEP should include specific goals to improve those skills. If a child has difficulty with handwriting, their IEP should include steps to improve handwriting or to learn touch-typing.

If your child has special needs, an IEP is important for several reasons. An IEP shows you the specific steps a school is taking to help your child reach their potential. It identifies the school staff that are responsible for implementing those steps. Most importantly, it gives parents and students a say in how their educational needs are met.

At present, IEPs are not legally required in our school system. A provision requiring IEP is in the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act of 2004, but is not implemented. However, using IEPs is good practice, and the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) recommends their use. Therefore, parents are entitled to ask their children's schools to prepare IEPs.

Putting together an IEP is a process. The NCSE recommends schools follow the process described in this article. To begin, schools gather information about children's strengths and needs. Schools get information from several sources including the children's parents, school records, medical reports and assessments. In addition, the school may consult the child, depending on the child's age and abilities.

Once this information is gathered, the school principal or her designee circulates the information to relevant parties. Then the school schedules a meeting to discuss the IEP. Parents, school staff and relevant professionals are involved in this meeting.

One of the goals of an IEP is to help children with special needs successfully progress through the education system. The IEP focus is on a child's priority learning needs, which are "prioritised areas for intervention", according to the NCSE. After identifying priority learning needs, goals or targets addressing those needs are formulated. Targets are things the student will learn or accomplish so that schools can assess student's progress, targets should be specific, measurable, agreed, realistic and time-bound (SMART). The IEP also includes the methods the school will use to help the student reach their targets.

IEPs are not static documents. They evolve as children's needs changes. Schools revise IEPs if children meet their goals, to modify existing targets, to change targets and when children's needs change. IEPs should be reviewed at least once every school year.

More information about IEPs is on the NCSE's website.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An individualized education program (IEP) is a plan that teachers and parents develop to help a child with learning disorders and other types of disabilities succeed in school. Think of it like a road map: It establishes where your child is in their learning journey, where you'd like them to end up at the end of a school year, and steps to help them get there.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the federal law governing special education, ensures that every child receives an evaluation of whether they qualify for extra school support, and if they do, entitles them to an IEP specially designed just for them. This federal law also requires that an IEP contains a minimum set of components, or parts, that convey key information about your child and details about when and how the plan will be implemented. You can familiarize yourself with the eight key components of an IEP here.

Current Skill Level

Every IEP must include a description of your child's current performance and skills in all areas of concern. It should explain how their disability affects their progress in the general education curriculum. It will also assess their "functional performance" in non-academic areas like motor skills, behavior, and interpersonal relationships.

IEP teams typically use formal assessments to determine how your child is doing and establish a baseline of performance. The team may also use anecdotal information and feedback from teachers to further describe their skills.

Annual Goals

The IEP must contain information about your child's goals, which need to be updated at least once a year. Depending on what challenges your child faces, goals can relate to academic performance, behavior, improving their physical mobility in navigating between classes, and more.

Each objective should be measurable. With the help of regular evaluations, teachers and parents should be able to see how close a child has come to reaching their goals by the end of a school year.

Progress Tracking

The IEP must explain exactly how progress toward your child's goals will be measured, whether it's regular testing or feedback reports from teachers. This gives you a clear idea of how your child is being evaluated throughout the year, and also provides reassurance that you will be kept in the loop about your child's achievements and setbacks.

Special Education Services

The IEP must clearly describe the student's special education program and how it's been designed to suit their particular needs. This provides details like separate instruction time, the use of one-on-one aides, and even special faculty training to help teachers learn more about how to best support your child.

Duration of Services

The IEP must include a projected beginning and end date of any services the IEP team proposes. This includes details on the frequency of the services and where they will be delivered. The intent is to ensure that everyone understands exactly when and where your child's individual program will take place.

Participation in Mainstream Classrooms

This section ensures that supportive staff and faculty are doing all they can to keep your child in the "least restrictive environment" as possible. With an aim of inclusion, this part of the IEP will detail how the child can join the general, mainstream classroom environment whenever it's appropriate.

The IEP must specify the amount of time a student will participate in these mainstream classes. It will also explain the rationale for that decision.

An IEP is a team effort: Several people need to collaborate to write it and then implement it. The team includes teachers, the specialist who evaluated your child, a representative of the school system (usually a special education coordinator or a principal), and you and your co-parent (if applicable).

Testing Adaptations

The IEP must explain if your child will participate in state and local achievement tests that other kids at their school take. If they will, it's important that the IEP specifies what types of testing accommodations will be used for them. Testing accommodations might include extra time, distraction-free rooms, and wheelchair-accessible tests.

If you and teachers decide it's best that your child take modified or different tests to assess achievement, the rationale for that decision must be included in the IEP.

Transitional Goals and Services

An IEP is designed to help your child succeed in the here and now, but also prepare them for the next phase of their education. For that reason, starting around a child's 14th birthday, an IEP must include plans for transitioning a child beyond grade school.

Transitional goals and services focus on instruction and support services needed to help your child move from the school environment and into a job, vocational program, or another program designed to promote independent living. If your child aspires to go to college, the IEP should also include steps to help prepare them for advocating themselves in that environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 504 plan and an IEP?

For kids with mental or physical impairments, a 504 plan provides modifications that allow them to learn in mainstream classroom settings. For example, a child with vision or hearing problems might receive preferential seating closer to the front of the classroom. An IEP plan grants accommodations for children both in the general classroom as well as special services beyond it, such as extra tutoring. By law, parents or legal guardians need to be involved in creating an IEP but their input is not necessary for a 504 plan.

How are IEP goals written?

IEP goals are discussed and set during a collaborative planning meeting between parents, teachers, a specialist who has evaluated the child, and a representative of the school system (usually a special education coordinator or a principal).

What is the purpose of an IEP?

An IEP gives a child with a learning disorder or other disability the tools they need to succeed at school. The plan is different for every child and may include one-on-one classroom aides, individualized tutoring sessions, special classroom materials, or a modified schedule.

Who writes an IEP?

While deciding on the details of an IEP is a collaborative effort between parents and school personnel, your child's main special education teacher is usually the one to put the plan in writing. Parents sign off on the final draft of the IEP before it's implemented.

How long is an IEP good for?

IEP plans are typically reviewed once a year. Parents who believe their child's IEP needs to be changed can request a special meeting before the annual review, which may lead to an IEP being revised.

What are the legal requirements of an IEP?

By law, an IEP needs to contain the following: a current assessment of your child; annual goals; special services your child needs; mainstream classroom participation targets; and any testing plans. It will detail when and where your child will receive special services, a system for charting progress, and any transition support they might need when they age out of the public grade school system.

A Word From Verywell

For a child who learns differently or has a disability, navigating just a single school day, much less an entire year, can be overwhelming. But a well-designed IEP can identify manageable goals that can reassure and motivate a child.

An IEP is an integral part of the special education process and should be written with care. If an IEP is required for your child, be sure you understand what it should include and why. Ask questions of the IEP team and don't be afraid to hold educators accountable for closely monitoring your child's progress and keeping you posted about it. In many ways, you captain the IEP process, and your attention to detail can be key to the plan's-and your child's-success.

An IEP is important because it:

helps you develop a learning program for individual students

tracks a student's progress against SMART (specific, measurable, agreed, relevant, timely) goals

shares information between the school, students, the student's family and other support professionals, for example, a Koorie Engagement Support Officer, social worker or speech pathologist

helps you identify resources the student may need to achieve their goals. For example, visual supports for classroom schedules and activities or audiobooks

promotes student confidence and engagement

ensures you meet your and accountabilities for students with additional learning needs under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005
