Tool Search: Special Ed Documents
The Individual Education Program (IEP) or Evaluation team uses the Evaluation to document the student's educational needs and the student's determination of eligibility for special education.
The current format of this document is the MI IFSP ESR 2015. Evaluation formats are selected in Eval Types.
