What is this IEP "stuff" ?
The term IEP refers to an Individualized Educational Program; a program that is developed by a group of people who are knowledgeable about the student and his/her educational needs.

A team of people, including the parent, will meet and discuss the test results and whether the student is eligible for special education.
After the school talks to me about my child's scores and said he/she is eligible, do I have to put my child in special education.
Federal law gives parents the right to refuse to have their child tested.
The IEP team looks at the needs of the student. If the student only needs to improve his/her math skills, then he/she would only spend time out of the classroom for math. The remainder of the day would be in the regular classroom.
Sometimes a specialized classroom is more appropriate for a student; however, which classroom the student goes to and how much time he/she spends in that classroom depends upon his/her needs. As a parent, you are part of the team that makes that decision.
Please call and talk to us. Try the special education teacher in your child's building, the principal in that building, one of the school psychologists, or the Director of Special Education (775-423-5187).
