**Este módulo está disponible en español: El Contenido del IEP
Module 13 looks in detail at the information that must be included in the IEP of every child with a disability receiving special education and related services under IDEA. This is critical knowledge for families and school personnel to have!
The module is available in English and Spanish, as you'll see below. It includes:
- a slideshow presentation;
- a Trainer's Guide;
- handouts for participants; and
- supplemental resources for trainers.
Please help yourself below, and download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others regarding the contents of the IEP under IDEA 2004.
Component #1: The Slideshows | Las Diapositivas
The 33 slides in this presentation will help you frame discussion of what IDEA requires be included in a child's IEP, component by component.
Need tips for downloading and using slideshows?
Component #2: Trainer's Guide | Guía para Entrenadores
There are 2 guides, an English and a Spanish, designed to show trainers how each slide operates (e.g., what clicks to make to move through the slide's content).
The English guide is where you'll find the full explanation of each slide's content. It also offers much additional info so that trainers can adapt training sessions to a length or detail suitable to the given audience.
The Spanish guide only shows how the slides operate, with thumbnail pictures of each slide. If you're a trainer in Spanish, you'll also want the English guide for its detailed content and supporting suggestions.

Component #3: Handouts for Participants | Folletos para Participantes
The handouts for Module 13 are included in a packet of handouts designed to cover the entire umbrella topic of Theme D (Individualized Education Programs). If you've downloaded the handouts for Theme D already, you have the handouts you need for Module 13. If you haven't downloaded any handouts for Theme D yet, here they are, in 2 different formats and 2 different languages.

Note about the Spanish Translations:
In preparing the handouts in Spanish, NICHCY has chosen to use a certain vocabulary set for the terminology most frequently used in IDEA. IDEA itself is extremely and purposefully consistent about its terminology, and we felt it critical to do the same in Spanish. However, we fully recognize that there are many ways to say the same thing, and Spanish is rich with alternatives from country to country, region to region. So we've also prepared a glossary of the terminology used in IDEA, how we've rendered that terminology in Spanish, and other ways of rendering it that families may also hear. Share this with participants as you see fit or use it to guide your own translations. The glossary of terminology is available in two formats, PDF and Word:
Component #4: Resources for Trainers
English only
The Resources for Trainers for Theme D are intended to accompany:
- Module 13 (Content of the IEP),
- Module 14 (Meetings of the IEP Team), and
- Module 16 (Children Enrolled by Their Parents in Private Schools).
If you're working with any of these modules, you'll want to download these resources of additional information. Again, choose between downloading a PDF file or an accessible Word file (or both, if you like).
_________
There! You're all set to go for Module 13. Please remember that these materials are designed to be a thorough and authoritative source of info on the contents of the IEP, as required by IDEA 2004. That's why they are so detailed. As a trainer, you are free to adapt the info we've offered to serve the purposes and needs of your audiences and the amount of time you have to spend with them.
