What is an IEP Plan?
IEP stands for Individualized Education Plan. This plan is something that a school and parent creates to describe how a child with an identified delay or disability will receive services at school. The following things are generally included in an IEP:
- What therapies a child needs
- Why the child needs those therapies
- What goals the child will work on during the upcoming year
- How the child is currently performing on those goals
- How much therapy time the child will receive to work on those goals
- What the rest of the child’s education will look like (how much time in the regular education classroom)
- Any additional services the child may need, such as special bussing

Where Can I Find Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy?
It is often difficult to know exactly how to teach a speech or language skill. You may also find that the child is tiring of one approach and you need some fresh ideas. This e-book that I created is packed full of fantastic step-by-step lesson plans for 39 different speech and language skills.
Each lesson plan will take you through the various steps of teaching that skill. It includes practical activities as well as worksheets and handouts for each step. It will also help you determine which skills to start on first with a child.
