IEP component for students with special health care needs; specifies health care procedures and services administered by school personnel and a plan for emergencies

• A. Individualized Health Care Plan
• B. Individualized Education Plan
• C. Section 504 Plan
• D. Health Services Plan

Answer: (A)

An Individualized Health Care Plan is the document that spells out exactly what health procedures and services school personnel will provide and how emergencies will be handled for a student with special health needs. It brings together families, health professionals, and school staff to ensure safe, consistent care during the school day, including who administers medications or treatments, what monitoring is required, what equipment is used, and what steps to take in an emergency. This plan is focused on medical management and safety, not on academic goals or accommodations for access. The IEP centers on instruction and related services, while a Section 504 Plan covers accommodations to access learning but does not specify medical procedures; the term Health Services Plan isn’t the standard designation used in this context.
