Actually, IEP's are required by law; there is no choice involved. IEP
(individual education plan or prescription) stems from PL94-142 passed
by Congress in 1975. At that time, it was a one page document.
Currently it is a 12 page document. If a child is identified as
handicapped, then each child must have an IEP. An IEP establishes
the needs and goals of the student and also the strategies that will
be used to meet them. There must be a tem made up of teachers,
parents, principals and scholl psychologist by law. It is also
critical for teachers to follow the plan and document; otherwise, they
are liable by law.
