The IEP Process
Individualized Education Plans or IEPs are documents created for individuals with special needs. They provide information about how the student’s educational path will differ from their peers. Each IEP should be tailored to the needs of the student it is created for.
IEPs are considered to be a living document, meaning that it is revisited and updated at a minimum every year to meet the changing needs of the student.

IEP: Goals and Objectives
IEP 101
When you first learn about Individualized Education Plans or IEPs, they can seem very overwhelming and stressful. However, like most scary things, the more you learn about what they are, why people have them, and what they look like, IEPs get a little less scary, and you can see the value of them for a student with special needs.
