IEP

IEP stands for Individualized Education Program, a legal document in U.S. schools that outlines educational goals and support services for students with disabilities.
Developed by a team including teachers, specialists, and parents, it specifies accommodations like extended test time or specialized instruction: We're meeting to update his IEP next week.
The term appears constantly in discussions of special education.
