IEPs were put into place with the federal Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), which requires an IEP for any student that has been diagnosed with a disability and would benefit from special education services. Each IEP is developed by the parents and other members of the IEP (or ARD) Committee: https://shieldsfirm.com/what-rights-do-i-have-concerning-my-childs-iep/
