- You actually don’t need to request an IEP. But you do need to ask to have your child evaluated by the school, for free. You can also pay for a private evaluation.

How should a students IEP be implemented?
Your child can have an IEP for one of two reasons: An IEP must be developed for every student who has been identified as an “exceptional pupil” by an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC). Learn about Identification, Placement and Review Committees and how they identify a student as an exceptional pupil.
The IEP summarizes: • Your child’s strengths and needs • Assessment data • Special education services provided to your child • Accommodations (supports, services that will help your child access the curriculum and demonstrate learning) • Program modifications (changes required to grade-level expectations in the Ontario Curriculum)
Working with staff at your child’s school, a personalized learning plan, called an Individual education plan or IEP, will be developed to address your child's specific needs, outlining accommodations, modifications, alternative programming, and support services.
When an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC) has deemed a student to be exceptional, the school principal must ensure that an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed and implemented for the student within 30 school days of their placement in a special education program.
According to the Toronto District School Board: “An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a special education plan that describes special education programs or additional support your child needs. The IEP helps monitor and assess your child’s progress, and it is modified as your child’s needs change.”
Once the agreement is signed, the school board will notify the principal of the school where the special education program will be provided that they need to develop an individual education plan (IEP) for your child.
