The Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is an important tool in your arsenal. Make sure you know how to use it. BY PAM L I N D E MA N
T
he individualized education plan or “IEP� is such a powerful document when it is developed, executed and revised correctly. In my opinion, every child, whether they have special needs or not, should have an IEP and they should have access to the rights that come with it. If they did, more children would graduate from our schools with a better education and stronger life skills.
