Which statement about an IEP is true?

• A. It is reviewed and rewritten annually
• B. It is reviewed only at graduation
• C. It is optional and rarely used
• D. It is replaced every month

Answer: (A)

An IEP is a plan for a student with a disability that is reviewed and updated each year to reflect current performance, progress, and changing needs. The annual review ensures that goals, services, and supports are still appropriate and that the student is making progress. The document can be revised or rewritten based on new data from progress monitoring, classroom performance, and any changes in placement or services. This annual process is required by law and happens every year, not just at graduation. It’s also important to note that, in addition to yearly reviews, a more thorough reevaluation occurs at least every three years to reassess eligibility and needs. The other statements aren’t accurate because the IEP isn’t optional, isn’t only reviewed at graduation, and isn’t replaced every month.
