Individual Education Program

An individual education program (IEP) is a legally binding document that comprehensively describes what special education services your child will receive and why they will receive them. In order to obtain this IEP, there will be a meeting during which these various issues will be discussed.

A 504 plan specifically describes modifications that will be made into an educational program or school in order to accommodate your child’s disability so that they may learn at the same level as their peers.
