Which term describes the actual delivery of services specified in the student's plan?

• A. IEP Development
• B. IEP Implementation
• C. Referral
• D. Pre-Referral

Answer: (A)

The term that describes actually delivering the services specified in the student’s plan is IEP implementation. After the IEP is developed, the team puts the plan into action by providing the identified special education services, supports, accommodations, and related services, and by coordinating with teachers and staff to ensure those services are delivered as written. Implementation also involves monitoring the student’s progress to check that the plan is meeting their needs.

IEP development refers to the process of creating the plan itself—deciding goals, services, and placement. Referral is the step of requesting an evaluation to determine eligibility, and pre-referral involves initial strategies tried before a formal referral for evaluation.
