IEP4U makes creating an IEP easy, streamlined, and efficient with over 4000 Goals and Objectives.

With the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, each public school child receiving special education must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP must be designed for each unique student and must be a truly individualized document. This IEP provides teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students to focus on the educational results of children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of a quality education for each child with a disability.

In order for a student to be eligible for an IEP federal law states a multidisciplinary team must determine that the child has a disability, requires special education, and related services to benefit from the general education program. To create an effective IEP, parents, teachers, other school staff, and often the student themselves, must come together to look closely at the student's unique needs. These individuals pool knowledge, experience, and commitment to design an educational program that will help the student be involved and progress through general curriculum. The IEP guides the delivery of special education supports and services for the student with a disability. Without a doubt, writing and implementing an effective IEP requires teamwork.

IEP4U.com was developed to help teachers, parents, and anyone involved in the education of a child with a disability to develop and execute a quality IEP. The IDEA Act requires certain information to be included in each child's IEP. However, many states and local school systems often include additional information in IEPs, to document that they have met certain aspects of federal or state law. The flexibility that states and school systems have to design their own IEP forms is one reason why IEP forms may look different from school system to school system or state to state. Regardless of the variety in appearance of IEP’s from locality to locality they share this common thread, each IEP is critical in the education of a child with a disability.
