In the video, there will be many examples of special education in schools as well as a description of the definition of an I.E.P. This video will begin by describing how special education for a student is different from a general education for a student. You will answer the questions "What is Special Education" and the questions "What is an I.E.P."? The video briefly mentions accommodations and modifications for special education students. It also talks about the fact that an I.E.P. is a legal document and that each I.E.P is unique to a particular student. The video also talks about the term Special Education itself, and how it should be replaced by the term Individualized Education.People & Blogs
