The Department of Education (DOE) provides families with Translated Individualized Education Programs (TIEPs) in any language at no cost.

Eligible families must have a child with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) who is currently school-aged (DOE or Charter K-12) or is turning 5 years old in the current calendar year.

If eligible, families may request a translation of the IEP at their child’s school or by submitting a request online or by phone. Once the TIEP is completed, the school’s IEP team will arrange delivery to the requesting family.
