What is the federally required plan for children diagnosed with disabilities called?

  1. IEP (Individualized Education Plan)

  2. 504 Plan

  3. Behavioral Plan

  4. Personal Development Plan

The correct answer is: IEP (Individualized Education Plan)

The federally required plan for children diagnosed with disabilities is known as an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The IEP is a legal document that outlines the educational goals and services tailored specifically for a child with a disability. It is designed to meet the unique needs of the student and to ensure that they have access to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment. The process involves collaboration between educators, specialists, parents, and, when appropriate, the child, to create a plan that includes specific services, accommodations, and modifications to the curriculum and assessment methods. This ensures that children receive the support they need to thrive academically and socially within the educational system. In contrast, other options like the 504 Plan address accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure equality in education, but are not as detailed as an IEP in terms of specific educational goals and services. A Behavioral Plan typically focuses on managing and addressing specific behavior issues rather than overall educational strategies, and a Personal Development Plan is generally more aligned with professional growth goals rather than educational needs for children with disabilities.
