Which document is legally mandated to plan services for students with disabilities?

• A. Individualized Education Program (IEP)
• B. FLEX
• C. Interdisciplinary Units
• D. Language Transfer

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that a formal, legally required plan exists to outline all supports for a student with disabilities. This document is the Individualized Education Program. Under the law (IDEA), every eligible student has an IEP that details the student’s present levels of performance, measurable annual goals, the specific special education services and related services to be provided, any accommodations or modifications, and the way progress toward goals will be monitored and reported. It’s created by a team that includes the student's parents and is reviewed annually to update goals and services. This legal framework makes the IEP the correct choice. The other options aren’t the mandated planning document for disability services: FLEX isn’t a formal plan for services, Interdisciplinary Units describe instructional collaboration rather than a required student plan, and Language Transfer is unrelated to special education planning.
