Members of this team include: - Parents - At least one regular education teacher - At least one special education teacher - Representative of the local education agency - Others that have knowledge of the child or special expertise (at the parents approval) - If appropriate the child with the disability.

The IEP meeting is a communication between parents and the school. At this meeting the needs of the child are discussed, and how its best to accommodate those needs. Give opportunity to resolve issues and come up with solutions to those issues. The IEP is a tool used to make sure the child is getting all the services he/she needs, and allows for documentation of the child’s works. IEP requires that goals are set, benchmarks, getting him/her involved in the general curriculum, states the aid or services the child needs, behavior plans, and many more options.
