In Falls Church City Public Schools, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) play a crucial role in ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate educational services tailored to their specific needs. Developed collaboratively by educators, parents, and other relevant stakeholders, IEPs outline the student's unique learning goals, accommodations, and services, including participation in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). LRE is individualized to each student based on their needs. These plans adhere to federal mandates under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and are designed to provide a comprehensive framework for supporting students with disabilities in accessing the general education curriculum. The IEP process emphasizes the importance of ongoing assessment and review to monitor the student's progress and make adjustments as needed, fostering a dynamic and responsive approach to educational support.

Furthermore, IEPs incorporate transition planning to prepare students with disabilities for life beyond the educational setting. Transition goals within the IEP address areas such as post-secondary education, employment, independent living skills, and community involvement. By focusing on the development of practical skills and fostering self-advocacy, IEPs aim to empower students with disabilities to successfully navigate the transition to adulthood.
