The IEP is not meant to replace a student’s general education curriculum or services; rather, it supplements general education and allows the child to access and benefit from general education.

Placing general education interventions into the IEP means that a school district could be subjected to IDEA dispute resolution procedures and, potentially, to liability under IDEA for services that are not IDEA services.
