Summary how to develop an education support plan for students with special education needs
An Individual Education Programme or an "IEP" as it is referred to, is a way of planning a child and young person's learning in steps. It sets out the educational goals of individual children and young people with special education needs. It is assessed and modified over time as an individual's needs change.
Most children and young people with special education needs should have an Individual Education Programme.
Before any individual programme can be developed, it is important to assess the child or young person's current learning abilities and environment. This information will provide the base from which learning will progress.
The IEP meeting should discuss the child or young person's current learning abilities, and focusing on the detail of the day-to-day programme. This will involve planning and then putting programmes into place that help the child and young person learn new skills step by step, and to assist with long term goals/learning outcomes.
