Answer 2

You are not in an IEP but you have have an IEP.  IEP stands for Individual Education Plan and contrary to belief, an IEP is only prepared for a student who has been deemed eligible for exceptional student education (aka special education).

The IEP lists your specific disability and the goals, benchmarks, accommodations  and modifications that are needed in order to address a specific situation.

It should be noted that ESE does not only address learning disabilities but any thing that would cause a child to need assistance not provided in the general curriculum.  This includes gifted (exceptionally bright) students as well.

IEP means Individual Educational Plan.  You are not in IEP, but if you are in Special Ed, you have an IEP.  The is the plan that the teachers use to make sure you are learning in the way, speed, etc., that is best for you.

IEP basically means Individualize Education Plan.  Special Education students such as myself have them,  I am almost 26 and I had one all throughout elementary school and high school, they just show people what you have and show your progress.  Most people who have them get tested every 3 years by a psychologist, and special ed teacher.  I know I was tested every 3 years.

Answer 5

IEP (individual education plan) is a federally mandated law implemented in the public school system. To have an IEP a student must be identified through an evaluation that meets the state and federal guidelines as defined by the American Disiabilities Act and the state interpretaion of the federal law.

For specifics on the guidelines in your state go to your local school system and ask for a copy of rights for a student with an IEP. You could also go to your states government website and go to education, then click special education. Download a copy of the rights on your computer if you want.

IEP's are addressed annually. Families and schools collaborate on the IEP. The IEP is a legally binding document and is quite powerful. Always request a copy of the IEP and ask questions. Schools prefer you ask questions and generally are willing to work with you. If you run into a situation that is not resovable you can review your rights booklet which is simple to follow and clearly outlines your steps for asserting your rights.

Answer 7

It doesn't mean you're in special Ed, but it does mean that you need a little help on certain subjects. If you have a test, quiz, or project, you go to your IEP and he or she will help you on that because she or he knows that you struggle with that subject.

Answer 8

IEP stands for individual education plan.  You wouldn't be "in" IEP you would HAVE an IEP.  It means you have a special learning issue that needs more individual help.  This could be speech/language, occupational therapy, special behavior plan due to extreme behaviors, a learning disability, and a whole spectrum of other things.

IEP is short for Individualized Educational Program. There are many  programs like this such as homeschooling and distance learning. Most charter school also follow this form of learning.

Answer 10

An IEP is an Individual Education Plan for children between ages 3-21.  This is a plan that the school department puts together to address academic, theraputic and developmental needs of the student.  Anyone that has an IEP has been diagnosed with some sort of "special need" but does not necessarily mean that the the child is in Special Education.  The plan details a child's needs, weaknesses and strengths, any therapy services that the child will be receiving, the child's school placement and any other adaptive services that the child may need.

My son has an IEP but is not in Special Ed.  The receives therapy in a private school outside our district.  At the present time, his IEP only addresses therapy needs and his school placement as the school department pays for his therapy at this private school.
