What is an "IEP"?

An IEP is an acronym for individualized education plan. An IEP is also a legal document that is created out of the IEP meaning. Once the student that has been identified as having an exceptional need, the IEP team puts together a plan to help the student be successful for the next academic year. The purpose of the IEP is to take the students needs and strengths as well as assessment data in creating goals and objectives including accommodations and modifications, using it as a guide to help instruct that student of the next year.
