Service Plan vs IEP

• A service plan spells out the special education and related services the LEA will make available to a child.These services are provided at no cost to parents. But the student may not be able to receive these services at the private school. Instead, the LEA can require him to go to a public school for services like speech therapy sessions.
• An IEP spells out the services, supports and specialized instruction a child with a disability will receive in public school. These services are provided at no cost to parents.
