Facilitated IEP
State-coordinated Facilitated IEP is a free early resolution option available to public education agencies (PEAs) and parents of children with disabilities to ensure that a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed by a collaborative team in a structured meeting. Participation is voluntary, meaning both parties must agree to include in the meeting a neutral facilitator who keeps the meeting focused on developing an IEP that is reasonably calculated to provide the student with a free appropriate public education (FAPE). The aim of including a highly trained special education facilitator in the meeting is to build capacity among educators and families to ensure that collaborative, student-focused IEP teams are equipped to make sound decisions in the development of IEPs.
