[edit] Name dispute
There is no such thing in IDEA as an "Individualized Education Plan". An "IEP" is an "Individualized Education Program".
No thier certaintly is, trust me, I've been in Special Education a majority of my life and an Indivisualized Education Plan is indeed real. Deathawk 21:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
The IEP is commonly referred to using "Plan" instead of "Program." In the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act it referes to the mandated IEP as a "Program." I changed the name of the article to reflect this and added reference to the mistaken fullname of an IEP. Assawyer 04:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
I added the {{cleanup}} tag to the article because I believe the article to be written in a "how to" not an encyclopedia style. There is a lot of good information, it just needs to be reworked. I will attempt to do some additional work on the article in the near future. Assawyer 04:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reference Sources
I am surprised that there is no reference to three other superb resources:
1. www.wrightslaw.com (Pete and Pam Wright's website with any information you need about IDEA and the parents rights and responsibilities, with many current and past topics and how to write your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP); 2. www.fcsn.org (The Federation for Children with Special Needs); 3. www.ldonline.org (Learning Disablities On Line website).
These 3 sources of information have proven best for our family and our IEP information requests for our child. Its called Individualized Education Program, because the goal is to develop an entire program for the child, which includes education, therapy, other services, and transportation needs, etc. It is an entire "program" for the child's life away from home. jeannaf
