Who develops an individualized education program (IEP)?


Published: Feb. 2, 2022Updated: Mar. 17, 2022

After a formal assessment has been conducted by the school or district, the IEP team is created. This is a group of individuals that includes key school staff and the child’s parent(s). The team meets and reviews the assessment information available about the child. If it is determined that the student is eligible for special educational services, the team designs a program to address the child’s educational needs that result from their disability. Read about the IEP team’s key players and their roles here.
