Parents and family members are critical members of the IEP team and the IEP development process. As parents, it is important that you understand the individualized education program (IEP) and its parts, why the IEP is important, and the valuable role you play in creating the IEP. This tip sheet, An Overview of the IEP: What to Know About Your Child's IEP and How It is Developed is intended to help you and other parents understand the key elements of the IEP and the IEP development process.
