An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a personalized educational document designed to support students with disabilities by outlining tailored learning goals, accommodations, and services.

 

For children diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD or autism, clinical psychologists can be an essential source of support for families throughout the IEP process. They help clarify the child’s strengths and challenges through comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, and provide evidence-based recommendations that can guide the development of meaningful, effective IEP goals.

 

By collaborating with families and advocating for the child’s needs, clinical psychologists ensure that the IEP reflects not only academic considerations but also social, emotional, and behavioral supports necessary for long-term success.
