The sample IEPs have been saved as secure template forms. Select the form needed and save the form templates as word documents (e.g., SA-IEPtemplate.doc or PS-IEPtemplate.doc) on your computer.

Preschool IEP Form (Updated December 2005)

School Age IEP Form (Updated December 2005)

Using the secure forms allows one to type in information in the fields provided without changing the form itself.

• Each field will expand as you enter information. A shaded box indicates a field.
• Increasing the number of fields, rows or text space is not possible.
• A supplemental page is provided at the end of the IEP template form if additional space for annual goals and short-term instructional objectives/benchmarks is needed.

• Use the TAB key to move forward from field to field.

• Use the SHIFT-TAB keys together to move backward from field to field.

• Use the SPACE BAR by tapping it once to mark a box; tap a second time to remove the mark in the box. Without the cursor in the box, clicking the left bar on the mouse will also place and remove a mark in a box.

• For a drop-down box, click on the field or down arrow and highlight and click on your selection. The selected information (e.g., disability classification) will appear.

• Use the SCROLL BAR to move through the document, as it will not automatically scroll down. Also use the SCROLL BAR to skip over a section(s) both forward and backward.

Once you have developed the IEP for a particular student, rename and save the document as another word document (e.g., studentnameIEP.doc) on your computer. This will allow you to use the template form for other students’ IEPs.
