Individualized Educational Plan

Short description: 

This course is specifically designed for assisting educators, parents, schools and educational institutions who are aiming to implement Individualized Educational Plans for students with different needs for all ages. An IEP ensures that a child with an identified disability who is attending an elementary or secondary educational institution receives specialized instruction and related services.
