How To Determine Your Child's Eligibility For An Individualized Education Program (IEP)

Who determines whether or not my child is eligible for an IEP?

Eligibility for special education through the IEP process is determined by the initial IEP team that has been gathered to asses that child's eligibility for special education services. Every team and every member of the IEP must be in consensus at the end of the team before an IEP can be written and implemented in the next year. If one member of the team is not in consent, then there is no IEP, for that IEP does not take place.
