What is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a dynamic program written and tailored to the needs of a student with a disability, aged 3-21, in order to help them participate in and make progress in their education. Read this article to learn more about the IEP.
What do I do if the school will not evaluate my child for an IEP?
If the school refused to evaluate your child, request that they provide you with prior written notice of this decision. You may send a letter requesting an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) or pursue dispute resolution options under the procedural safeguards.
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay?
If you suspect that your child might have a developmental delay, you should talk with your child’s pediatrician. They may conduct a developmental screening.
