What is an IEP?

The mention of IEP's and TEAM meetings can make the most seasoned veteran anxious, but it doesn't need to be this way. With a bit of preparation and knowledge of the process and laws & regulations, you can walk away feeling less fearful and hopeful for the education your child will receive. We've added this page to help you in your preparation and explain the process. If you happen to have resources that you feel would be helpful for other families (and even educators/therapists/TEAM members) please forward them to us at npac@live.com.

What is an IEP? IEP stands for Individualized Education Plan. It is a written document that describes the educational plan for a student with a disability. An IEP talks about your child's disability, what skills your child needs to learn, what they'll do in school this year, what services the school will provide, and where your child's learning will take place. An IEP is a legally binding document.
