| Creating useful IEPs is extremely frustrating
because they chart a course that must be followed, as well as
one that may need to be changed. All of this, with legal implications,
limited resources, and all too frequently inadequate teacher
time and training. Thus, it is very important every educator
know what the IEP does, how it is measured, and how to make
it beneficial to the child involved.
