The plan developed and reviewed periodically for students with disabilities to set goals and accommodations is called what?

• A. IFSP
• B. FAPE
• C. ADA
• D. IEP

Answer: (D)

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is what is being described. Under IDEA, a formal plan is created for each eligible student to guide special education services. The IEP brings together a team to set measurable annual goals and identify the specific accommodations, supports, and related services the student will receive, as well as where and how much inclusion in general education will occur. It’s reviewed at least once a year to update goals and services based on progress and is reevaluated periodically to determine ongoing eligibility. A strong IEP includes current levels of performance, annual goals with progress criteria, the specific services and related supports needed, any required accommodations or modifications, the extent of participation with nondisabled peers, assistive technology if needed, and transition planning for older students. This plan is what ensures the student receives Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Infants and toddlers use a different plan called an IFSP, FAPE is the right guaranteed by law, and ADA is a broader civil rights statute—not the individualized education plan for K–12.
