Individual Education Plans
What is an Individual Education Plan (IEP)?
An individual education plan is a working document created by schools in collaboration with parents, and students when applicable
It is a written plan describing the special education program and/ or services required by a particular student, based on a thorough assessment of the student’s strengths and needs.
It helps current and future teachers understand your child’s learning profile, strengths and needs, and any supports necessary to help your child be successful
The best person to contact about your child's IEP is their classroom teacher
Other people who can help you understand and maintain your child's IEP include:
Special education resource teacher
School administration
Any other school or board staff who are currently supporting your child
Remember:
Students with an IEP may or may not have a formal diagnosis, but they do have identified, unique learning needs
Your child's IEP is your best resource to help you understand and support their learning needs

For students with specialized, and/or identified learning needs, go to Meeting Individual needs to find some general information and strategies
