What is the fundamental goal of an IEP?

The fundamental goal of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is to modify educational goals for individual students. The IEP is designed to address the unique needs of students with disabilities by providing a tailored educational plan that outlines specific learning objectives, accommodations, and support services to help the student succeed in their educational environment.

This personalized approach ensures that the education provided is appropriate and effective for the individual, taking into consideration their strengths and challenges. The IEP is developed collaboratively by educators, specialists, and the student's family, ensuring that all necessary resources are aligned to support the student’s progress toward their specific learning goals.
