LAC 28:XCVII.111. The Three Types of IEPs for Students with Exceptionalities

A. The Initial IEP is developed for a student with an exceptionality who has met criteria for one or more exceptionalities outlined in Bulletin 1508, Pupil Appraisal Handbook and who has never received special educational services, except through an interim IEP, from an approved Louisiana school/program. B. The Review IEP is reviewed and revised at least annually or more frequently to consider the appropriateness of the program, placement, progress in the general education curriculum and any related services needed by the student. C. The Interim IEP shall be developed for students who have severe or low incidence impairments documented by a qualified professional concurrent with the conduct of an initial evaluation according to Bulletin 1508, Pupil Appraisal Handbook. 1. An interim IEP may also be developed for students who have been receiving special educational services in another state concurrent with the conduct of an initial evaluation. 2. An interim IEP may also be developed concurrent with the conduct of an initial evaluation for a student out-of-school, including students ages three- through- five, who are suspected of having a disability and for former special education students, through the age of twenty-two, who have left a public school without completing their public education by obtaining a state diploma.
