IEP Basics for UAE Families

Individual Education Plans — what to ask for and how to advocate.

An Individual Education Plan (IEP) outlines specific goals, accommodations, and support for your child. Under UAE inclusion frameworks (KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi), schools are expected to support participation — but the quality of the IEP still depends on collaboration between home and school.

Before meetings: list strengths, challenges, and what works at home. Ask how progress will be measured and who delivers each support. Request written summaries after each review.
