Each child found eligible for special education must have a current Individualized Education Program (IEP) in place at the beginning of every school year. This module of the IEP Mini Modules Series covers procedures in federal and state laws related to the IEP, including: the IEP timeline, members of the IEP Team, IEP meeting notices, excusing IEP team members from the IEP meeting, annual review of IEP goals, the IEP cover sheet, and an overview of the IEP document sections.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to describe the IEP timeline, IEP Team members, and meeting notices.
• Participants will be able to discuss excusing IEP Team members from the IEP meeting.
• Participants will be able to identify the IEP document sections.
