An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed for your child is much more than a piece of paper. It represents a collective agreement between you the parent, and the school (as well as other involved parties), in the development and implementation of specific educational services designed to benefit your child.

The IEP is a critical element of Exceptional Student Education. Developing quality Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) is a team effort that involves the parents, teachers and support staff. Because of its importance, we have put together a number of pages of information that should help you better understand the parent/school partnership, everyone's roles and expectations.
