Which document outlines a student's measurable annual goals and required services to provide FAPE?

• A. 504 Plan
• B. Student Handbook
• C. IEP
• D. Service Log

Answer: (C)

The plan used to specify what a student will work toward and the services they’ll receive to ensure a Free Appropriate Public Education is the Individualized Education Program. When a student is found eligible for special education, a team (including the parent) creates an IEP that outlines present levels of performance, measurable annual goals, and the specific special education and related services, supports, and modifications the student will receive. It also describes how progress toward goals will be monitored and reported, where services will take place, and any needed accommodations. This detailed, goal-focused plan is what guarantees FAPE under IDEA, distinguishing it from other documents that may list general policies or accommodations without the same formal, measurable goals and service structure.
