An IEP is intended for which group?

• A. A general education student.
• B. A student in need of special education services who requires an individualized plan.
• C. Any student who passes a basic skills test.
• D. A student eligible for school lunch program.

Answer: (B)

An IEP is a plan created for students who receive special education services to address their unique learning needs. Under IDEA, eligible students receive an Individualized Education Program that lays out specific goals, the services and supports they will receive (such as specialized instruction or related services), and how progress will be tracked. This is designed for students who require individualized instruction and accommodations to access the curriculum.

So, it is intended for a student who needs special education services and requires an individualized plan. It isn’t for general education students, it isn’t tied to passing a basic skills test, and it isn’t related to lunch program eligibility.
