One of the most important parts of the special education process is creating a plan for your child’s education. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) lists the special education services your child will receive based upon his or her individual needs and challenging annual goals. This online course can help you understand the essential elements of an IEP, learn the type of information that IDEA requires to be included in the IEP, and how you can assist in developing your child’s IEP.
