	Individualized Education Programs: Part 5; Section 300.346 Content of individualized education program http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.5.html
	If you are the parent of a child with a disability and know that you will help develop an IEP for your child but you want to know more about the content of IEPs, look here. Because IEPs are specific to the child and the disability, this article includes a portion of the law which mandates the content of IEPs and clearly answers many questions about the provision of transition services, the inclusion of physical, mainstream and vocational education, and confidentiality issues. It will also give a parent an understanding of the goals and short-term instructional objectives of an IEP and why they are included.
	Individualized Education Programs: Part 4; Section 300.345 Parent participation. http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.4.html
	Once the IEP meeting is being planned, parents of children with disabilities should read this article which cites and describes Section 300.345 of IDEA on parent participation. In addition to the legalese, the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities clearly answers many questions about parental involvement in the IEP meeting, the responsibilities that agencies have to inform parents about the meetings and the significance of the meetings in general.
	Individualized Education Programs: Part 3; Section 300.343 Meetings & Section 300.344 Participants in meetings http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.3.html
	Long and legal but comprehensive and interesting for a parent who needs to know everything about IEP meetings. The National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities answers every imaginable question about meeting structure, content and frequency as well as the participation of parents, educators, agencies and children. Most importantly, it will make YOU an informed participant.
	Individualized Education Programs http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.1.html
	For the non-lawyers among you who would like to understand the laws that regulate Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), begin here. It cites the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Appendix C to Part 300: Notice of Interpretation, issued by the Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, specifically in reference to the definition of an IEP. It is easier to understand than you would expect and a solid foundation for asking other questions about IEPs and the IDEA.
	Individualized Education Programs: Part 6; Section 300.348 Private school placements by public agencies Section 300.349 Children with disabilities in parochial or other private schools Section 300.350 Individualized education program accountability http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.6.html
	This last section on IEPs from the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities addresses issues of a child's placement in private or parochial schools and the accountability of agencies and teacher's for a child's growth. Although each of these sections are extremely brief, you may find them incredibly relevant to particular issues. If you are a parent concerned that your child is not achieving the anticipated results of the IEP, read Section 300.350 to understand others' liability. NICHCY concludes with a substantial list of useful resources to look for additional information on IEPs.
	Individualized Education Programs: Part 2; Section 300.341 State educational agency responsibility. http://www.kidsource.com/NICHCY/IEP.k12.p.4.dis.2.html
	Almost entirely legalese and very specific, parents should read this article if they would like to know what the laws on state educational agency responsibility say verbatim or they are intensely researching the process of developing an IEP. Since most IEPs are developed and implemented by the local school district, this information is applicable only to a few children, including those in foster care.
