IEP4U MAKES CREATING AN IEP EASY, STREAMLINED AND EFFICIENT WITH 4000 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.

With the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA each public school child receiving special education must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP must be designed for one student and must be a truly individualized document. This IEP provides teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students to focus on the educational results of children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of a quality education for each child with a disability.


In order for a student to be eligible for an IEP federal law states a multidisciplinary team must determine that the child has a disability and requires special education and related services to benefit from the general education program. To create an effective IEP, parents, teachers, other school staff--and often the student--must come together to look closely at the student's unique needs. These individuals pool knowledge, experience and commitment to design an educational program that will help the student be involved in, and progress in, the general curriculum. The IEP guides the delivery of special education supports and services for the student with a disability. Without a doubt, writing--and implementing--an effective IEP requires teamwork.


IEP4U.com was developed to help teachers, parents and anyone involved in the education of a child with a disability-develop and carry out an IEP. The IDE Act requires certain information to be included in each child's IEP. It is useful to know, however, that states and local school systems often include additional information in IEPs in order to document that they have met certain aspects of federal or state law. The flexibility that states and school systems have to design their own IEP forms is one reason why IEP forms may look different from school system to school system or state to state. Yet each IEP is critical in the education of a child with a disability.


IEP4U.COM provides its members over 4000 free Goals and Objectives (IEP-ITP) each with changeable benchmarks. IEP Idea Statements are spread out over seven subjects (Domains) and four functional levels. Teachers, parents and students can now access their own customized IEP objectives directly from this Web Site. With a paid membership registered teachers and educators will be able to modify objectives (examples) to exactly describe the needs of your students. With prebuilt templates and the abilities to pull pre-aproved sections from school districts IEP4U.com was written to help provide the best IEP for the child while easing the burden on the team building it.

Parents will be able to login review and if allowed approved their child’s IEP. Kid section will give your students personal input to write their own objectives (with your help) and to play some interesting games as well. This information is designed to help you with the daunting task of writing proper IEP's

The data within this web site was written to correlate with the unique characteristics of various formal assessments. Since assessment is essential for the development of the IEP, specific questions were evaluated and idea statements written based upon those questions. Searching the data for idea statements by assessment will enable teachers to plan lessons based upon how the student scored on the assessment
