Which element is part of IEP service delivery?

• A. The district budget.
• B. The school's curriculum map.
• C. The student's course schedule.
• D. The specific services and supports the student will receive.

Answer: (D)

Service delivery in an IEP focuses on turning goals into action by naming the concrete supports and services the student will receive. It specifies what services (such as special education instruction and related services), what accommodations and supports, and crucial details like how often, for how long, where, and who will provide them. This part shows exactly what the school will do to help the student access education and work toward the annual goals.

This is different from the district budget (funding for all schools), the curriculum map (what is taught across the year), or the student’s course schedule (class times). Those elements don’t specify the individualized services the student will receive. So the element that belongs in IEP service delivery is the explicit description of the specific services and supports the student will receive.
