There are many children throughout the U.S. today who suffer from various types of disabilities. Disabilities are divided into specific categories, such as learning, physical, speech, low vision, attention deficit, and many others. If your child suffers from a disability that impairs their ability to learn or to pay attention in school, then he or she may greatly benefit from an individual education program. This is a program that is designed to help students with disabilities reach educational goals that they otherwise may have an extremely difficult time doing.

Every child is different; goals are unique to each student and the schedules and level of dedication of parents often vary greatly. This produces a need for each program to be specifically tailored to the child’s needs, their goals, and to facilitate their future learning capability. The plan specifically is used to identify and define the individual needs and objectives of a student with disabilities in order to help teachers and other service providers understand the situation so that they can work more effectively. Every child deserves the opportunity to obtain specific education to facilitate their needs and to have educators or specialized staff help them overcome any disability.
