How often must the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) be reviewed for a student receiving mild intervention?

The Individualized Education Plan (IEP) must be reviewed at least once a year to ensure that the educational goals and objectives for the student with mild intervention are appropriate and being met. This annual review is crucial because it allows the educational team, including teachers, parents, and specialists, to evaluate the student’s progress and make necessary adjustments to the plan to better support the student’s needs. Annual IEP reviews help maintain a focus on the student’s academic and functional performance, ensuring that the necessary supports are in place to facilitate their success.

Reviewing the IEP annually is a legal requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), reflecting the commitment to providing tailored educational services that promote the student’s growth. While IEP meetings can be held more frequently if needed, the required minimum of once a year provides a structured approach to monitoring and adapting the education plan to meet the evolving needs of the student.
