Individualized Education Plan (IEP)

Please talk to your loved one’s school about the long-term goals your child has for their future.  Be sure to discuss CDDO.  During transitional IEPs be sure to work with your child and their team to make sure that the IEP is reflective of preparing them for life after public education.  The following are resources for your child’s Individualized Education Plan:

• Kansas State Department of Education Special Education Services
