The IEP is a quasi-contractual agreement to guide, orchestrate, and document specially designed instruction for each student with a disability based on his or her unique academic, social, and behavioral needs. By law, the IEP must include certain information about the child and the educational program designed to meet his or her unique needs (U.S. Department of Education, 2000). This information includes: * Current levels of educational performance * Measurable goals and measurable objectives or benchmarks * Special education and related services * The extent of participation with non-disabled children * A statement of how the child's progress will be measured and how parents will be informed of that progress * The extent of modification of participation in state and district-wide tests * The dates and location of services to be provided * Beginning at age 14 (or younger), a statement of transition services the student will need to reach post-school goals

Based on 1980 Census and Immigration and Naturalization Services records, it is estimated that there are 79 million school-age language minority children in the United States. This bilingual population is distributed throughout the United States with heavier concentrations in the southwest and northeast. The highest concentration is in the large urban areas. Considering the overall population with limited English proficiency (LEP) in the United States, a critical question for bilingual special educators is how many of these students also have disabilities. According to the U.S. Office of Special Education, an estimated 948,000 children may both be linguistically different and have disabilitiesa substantial population who could benefit from bilingual special education services.
