How often must an Individualized Education Program be updated according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004?

Weekly
Quarterly
Semi-annually
Annually

The correct answer is: Annually

The correct frequency for updating an Individualized Education Program (IEP) as stipulated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 is annually. This annual review is essential to ensure that the educational needs of the student with disabilities are being met effectively. During this meeting, the IEP team assesses the student's progress toward the goals set in the previous IEP, makes necessary updates, and sets new goals for the coming year. Annual updates also allow for the inclusion of any changes in the student's circumstances, any new information obtained through assessments, or shifts in educational requirements. This comprehensive review supports the compliance with federal regulations designed to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students with disabilities.
