The Individualized Education Program (IEP) serves as the framework for determining the meaning of the term “free appropriate public education” in the least restrictive environment, a term frequently referenced in the IDEA. IEPs must be developed and reviewed annually and must be in effect at the beginning of each school year. The IEP may be reviewed more than once a year if the parent or the district requests a review.

Below are some resources that have information and/or professional learning opportunities for developing compliant IEPs: 

• 2019 Guide to Writing IEPs Training Series
