Exceptional Student Education

• IEP stands for Individualized Education Program.

• An IEP lays out the special education instruction, supports, and services a student needs to thrive in school.

• IEPs are part of PreK–12 public education.

• IEPs are covered by special education law, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). They’re created for eligible kids who attend public school, which includes charter schools.
