What is Individualized Education Plan ?
Individualized education program is a tool which helps families, teachers and other members meet the educational needs of students with special needs.

What IEP is not?
It is not an individual study paper. It is not a program that concerns only the
teacher. It is not a way of getting rid of problem
students in the classroom. It is not a decision file to label student. It is not a program just focusing on the
academic performance or record table. It doesn’t charge the family and teacher with
extra burden. It is not a study program or homework
demanding more than student’s capability..

Why should IEP be prepared?
Student with special needs can only benefit from the highest level of service through a healthy IEP preparation process.

Why we should use IEP
All individuals no matter what type and degree of their disability can learn.
In children, language, problem solving, mental processes, behavioral traits and characteristics of learning may differ from each other
Even children who live in the same environment is different. For example, the same age group students’ physical development and behavioral characteristics may differ in the same class.
The strengths and weaknesses of individual progresses show differences in itself.
02.05.23 6
Why we should use IEP
In addition, children's own characteristics and behaviors are different. For example, a person who is very successful in sporting events may fail in artistic activities. BEP takes into consideration the differences for individual development
To make the program more effective meaningful and continuous relasionships should be established with parents and caretakers of students
Students should be taught necessary skills and expected behaviours they need at home or in the daily life of the community
