In an IEP, who is responsible for implementing services and documenting progress?

• A. The district determines services without input from the IEP team.
• B. The IEP specifies who provides what services and when.
• C. Parents decide all service details without team input.
• D. Services are optional in the IEP.

Answer: (B)

An IEP is a collaborative, legally binding plan that clearly assigns responsibility for service delivery. It specifies exactly who will provide each service, what services will be provided, and when they occur. It also details how progress toward annual goals will be measured and reported to the family, with regular progress data collected to show whether the student is making gains. This combination of assigned roles and ongoing progress documentation ensures accountability and alignment across the team.
