The Individualized Education Program is the centerpiece of the IDEA. It not only identifies what educational programming and services a student with a disability needs to receive FAPE, but details what the student's needs are and what the school district promises to provide.

Updated to incorporate the 2006 IDEA Part B regulations, The Answer Book on IEPs discusses the IDEA procedural requirements concerning both the process and the document, including:

• When must meetings be held to design, review and revise IEPs?
• Who must participate in an IEP meeting?
• What are the rights of the parents to participate in an IEP meeting?
• What recourse is available to parents if they disagree with the IEP proposed by the school district?
• What information must the IEP document contain?

The comprehensive scope, straightforward language and question-and-answer format make The Answer Book on IEPs your one-stop IEP reference source.
