Individualized Education Program

Individualized Education Programs (IEP)s are legal documents in United States' law. These are developed for almost every public school child in the United State

Individualized Education Programs (IEP)s are legal documents in United States' law. These are developed for almost every public school child in the United States who needs special education.[1] The documents are to be reviewed every year for keeping up with children's educational progress. Similar legal documents also exist in other countries.

IEPs highlight the special education experience for almost all students with disabilities. Eligible children include those between ages 3 and 21 in the United States. They are evaluated as having special needs. The needs include autism (ASD), learning problems, emotional-behavioral issues, intellectual troubles, multiple disabilities, physical disabilities, other development troubles, Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, visual impairments and speech-language interference.

The IEPs describe levels of present performance, needs, strength and create measurable goals based under these data. Students who are 14 and older contribute to their TPF, or transition planning form. These focus on goals connected to post-secondary learning, vocational activities, and community living.

Under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (or IDEA), public schools have to develop IEPs for almost all students having disability who are found as meeting the state and federal requirements of special education. Whenever students qualify under special education before their 21st, 22nd or 23rd birthdays, these documents are to be regularly updated and strongly maintained.
