What factor is NOT considered in an IEP?

In the context of an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the focus is primarily on the specific educational needs of a child with a disability. Factors that are essential in this process include the child's strengths, any behavior issues that may affect learning, and their language needs, all of which directly impact their educational experience and strategies for support.

Extracurricular achievements, while potentially relevant to a child's overall development and interests, do not typically fall within the IEP's scope. The IEP is designed to address the academic and functional needs that must be met in order to provide appropriate educational services. Therefore, while understanding a child's interests may enrich their educational experience, achievements in extracurricular activities are not a core component considered when developing objectives and support within an IEP. This distinction helps ensure that the IEP remains focused on the specific requirements necessary to facilitate effective learning and achievement in the school setting.
