        A multi-disciplinary team of parents, general and special education teachers, administrators, and others meets to develop the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This document guides the special education program that will be provided for the student. The IEP team must also determine the least restrictive environment (LRE) and provide justification in the IEP for more restrictive placements
        (Project IDEAL,2020)
        
        Phase 7: IEP Implementation (FAPE)
        The entire IEP team has the responsibility to ensure that the IEP is implemented.(Project IDEAL,2020)
        
        Phase 8: IEP Reevaluation
        Each year, the IEP team is required to meet for the dual purpose of evaluating the implementation of the current IEP and to develop the next annual IEP (Project IDEAL,2020)
      - No disability is noted that impacts educational performance. Special education not required. Process stops. Student referred for interventions again(Project IDEAL,2020)
