Ohio’s required and supplemental special education forms were updated following the 2023 revision of Ohio Administrative Code and the Operating Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities. Throughout the revision process, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) engaged stakeholders and gathered extensive feedback, which was incorporated into the 2027 forms.
Please note that DEW uses specific terminology for clarity. The term “current forms” refers to the forms published in 2018 that are currently in use. The term “2027 forms” refers to the newly revised forms that educational agencies will be required to use beginning in the 2027-2028 school year.
The required forms are now available on the Department's website. Ohio will provide training for educators on completing the new 2027 Individualized Education Program (IEP) and Evaluation Team Report (ETR) forms. These statewide training opportunities will help participants become familiar with the forms, learn how to complete them, and understand how they support student evaluations and educational planning.
For further information on the 2027 forms and training, please see the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce website.
