Individualized Education Plan. Under federal law governing special education, every child in public schools who is determined through assessment to have special mental disability needs has an IEP. An IEP is typically developed by a team of professionals that may include special education teachers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, psychologists, parents or guardians, and others who may be called on to provide expertise. The team meets at least once a year to set goals for the next school year and to assess progress on already established goals. Parents who are not satisfied with school-based assessments have the right to ask for independent assessments that must be paid for by the school system.

IEP can mean multiple things:

• Institut d'études politiques
• Individualized Education Program
• Intercity Express Programme
• Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
• Irish pound, the ISO 4217 code for the former currency of Ireland
