Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with a hearing deficit, autism, or significantly lower IQ (indicative of intellectual disability) often require an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to ensure they receive the appropriate accommodations and modifications to their education program to support their learning and educational success. An IEP is designed to meet the unique educational needs of one child, who may have a disability, as defined by federal regulations. A child with diabetes or a temporary condition like a fractured arm typically would not require an IEP, as these conditions do not inherently affect the child's ability to learn in the same way that a hearing deficit, autism, or significant intellectual disability might.
