SPECIAL EDUCATION (IEP) RESOURCES

An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a written, legally binding document made for each child with a disability who qualifies for special education in the public school system.  

To qualify, your child must have a record of a divagnosed disability. You can request a full multi-disciplinary or multi-team evaluation (in writing) from your school district.
