IEP Team The parent plays a vital role on the IEP team, along with educators and other qualified professionals. This team works collaboratively to develop the child's IEP. Information gathered during the evaluation process, sometimes referred to as a multifactored evaulation or MFE, will be used in the development of the special education services and supports to address the unique learning needs of your child. The IEP team includes: Parent(s) or legal guardian At least one regular education teacher (if the child is participating in regular education classes) At least one special education teacher or provider, such as a therapist A representative of the school district, such as an administrator An individual who can explain the results of the evaluation and what it means for instruction, such as a school psychologist An individual with knowledge or special expertise about the child, such as an advocate or private health care provider, at the discretion of the parent or school The child, whenever appropriate
