Abstract
This investigation examined the amount of time and the costs associated with the development of individualized education programs for a cross section of exceptional students. Seventy-five teachers provided data on the time required to prepare IEP documents for a sample of 807 exceptional children. Analysis of the data indicated a considerable time investment in the IEP process. The data showed that IEP development preempted instructional activities and that teachers contributed a significant amount of their own personal time in order to accomplish the IEP requirement.Keywords
