YES, I WANT TO GET CERTIFIED

A well written IEP can change a child's life...

Every year, over 7 million IEPs are written—many without the legal accuracy, instructional quality, or individualized insight that students deserve.

NASET's Board Certification in IEP Development (BCIEP) empowers educators and professionals with the knowledge, skills, and step-by-step guidance to develop legally compliant and instructionally effective IEPs for students with disabilities.


But laws are complex and everchanging.

The IEP is more than just a document—it’s a legal contract and an educational roadmap. Designed collaboratively by educators, specialists, and families, it outlines the support and services that make learning possible for students with disabilities.

As a Special Education professional, you must be fully trained to ensure your IEPs are compliant, individualized, and actionable.
