Multidisciplinary teams that guide individualized special education services for each student with a disability.

• A. Multidisciplinary Teams
• B. Accommodations
• C. Speech Impairments
• D. IEP Teams

Answer: (D)

The group that plans and guides each student’s individualized special education services is the IEP Team. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, this team brings together the student’s parents, at least one general education teacher, at least one special education provider, and other specialists as needed, and includes the student when appropriate. They collaborate to determine eligibility (if needed), set annual goals, decide on services and placement, and review progress regularly to tailor the IEP to the student’s unique needs. While the team is multidisciplinary in composition, the specific planning body for an individual student’s education is the IEP Team, making it the best fit. Accommodations are instructional adjustments, not the team itself; speech impairments refer to a disability category, not a planning group.
