Who helps write the IEP?

The parent and the classroom teacher, in consultation with the school resource teacher, creates the IEP. ​

  • The IEP must be written within thirty school days of when your child starts in a new school, classroom or has been deemed exceptional at an IPRC meeting.
  • The principal is ultimately responsible for ensuring the IEP is written and implemented. ​
  • Parents play an important role in the development of the IEP for their child and are invited to participate in both the IEP and IPRC processes.

Children do better in school when parents are involved. In recent years, schools have made many many changes to increase parental involvement and make themselves more “parent-friendly.”​
