Answer to Question 1

An IEP, which IDEA requires for every child who is identified as having a disability and receives special education services, is a document that describes the educational resources that will be used to help meet a given student's academic needs.
The five key elements of the individualized education program (IEP) are:
(1) A statement of the child's current levels of educational performance.
(2) A statement of annual goals and short-term educational goals.
(3) A statement of special education and related services to be provided, along with the extent to which the child can participate in regular education programs.
(4) The dates for initiation and expected duration of services.
(5) The appropriate objective criteria and evaluation procedures to determine, on at least an annual basis, whether short-term objectives are being achieved.
(6) A statement of any accommodations that are necessary to properly assess the child's academic achievement and functional performance on state and district tests.
