Learning About IEPs If you just started learning about IEPs, you’ll likely hear about many things that are unfamiliar to you. And you’ll probably have lots of questions. Who gets an IEP? What’s the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan? Having answers to your questions can help you decide if you want to pursue an IEP for your child. It can also help you advocate for your child with more confidence.
The Individualized Education Program creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students (when appropriate) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of quality education for each child with a disability.
