Annual Review
IEP ProcessDefinition
The yearly meeting where the IEP team reviews and revises the student's IEP. The team examines the child's progress toward goals, updates present levels, writes new goals, and adjusts services as needed. Parents can also request an IEP review at any time, not just at the annual review.
