An IEP is a plan developed by the Educational Team. This team consists of School Psychologist, teachers, any therapists (physical/occupational - speech, motor skills...etc.), parents and is developed after extensive testing of the child. It is a plan that is developed which will spell out EXACTLY what is going to happen in school to help the student.
For example: If the child had a speech problem. The IEP would state all the testing that was done and the goal. It would state how many days/hours per week the child is pulled from class to have speech therapy. It would state the times of week they are pulled. How long the therapy may take...etc.
If the child is in a Special Education class, the IEP would focus on goals to be made for the school year/years. Some IEP's are done yearly, others are done on a 3 year basis. If Johnny is functioning on a 1st grade level, but is in 4th grade - the IEP will state that Johnny will be taught 1st grade skills progressing to a 2nd grade level.
2. I'm guessing that they are diagnosed ADD
3. Sounds like they have some special needs that may need to be met in and out of school.
You can start children in Public School services at 3 years old. If they any services provided within the public schools, they can start those services at 3 years old.
