FTCE Exceptional Student Education (ESE) K-12 Practice Test

The answer is indeed correct because an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a document designed to ensure that students with disabilities receive tailored support specific to their educational needs. Central to the IEP are the accommodations that are provided to help the student access the curriculum effectively. These accommodations might include modifications in teaching methods, additional time for assignments, or assistive technologies, all aimed at supporting the student’s unique learning profile.

The other options, while they may be relevant in broader educational contexts, are not standardized elements of an IEP. Strategies for maintaining student friendships, for example, while beneficial for social-emotional development, are not typically formal aspects included in an IEP. State assessment scores may inform the development of the IEP but are not a component of the plan itself. Likewise, teacher performance evaluations pertain to educator assessments and do not directly relate to the individualized planning necessary for a student's specific educational journey.
