Individualized Educational Programs

Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) are a cornerstone of special education. The IEPs outlines the services a student with disabilities will receive, where those services will be provided, and educational goals for the student. The members of the IEP team work together to develop the student’s IEP. The IEP Team is composed of the special education teacher(s), appropriate general education teachers, appropriate related service personnel (occupational therapist, speech-language therapist…), a local education agency representative, and the student, if appropriate.

To help you write IEPs that work for your students and meet legislative requirements, CEC has created this resource. It includes information about policy changes that affect the IEP, how to reduce paperwork connected with the IEP, and strategies to write effective IEPs, and how to conduct positive IEP meetings, as well as CEC policies and resources.
