Customized Learning for Every Unique Student
At Trust The Journey Academy, we recognize that every child learns differently — and that’s something to be celebrated, not overlooked. For students with disabilities or developmental challenges, a one-size-fits-all curriculum simply doesn’t work. That’s why we’re deeply committed to developing and implementing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that support each student’s unique learning journey.
What Is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a legally mandated document that outlines a customized learning plan for students who qualify for special education services. Each IEP is developed through a collaborative process involving teachers, specialists, school staff, and the student’s family. It Includes:
-
-
Specific, measurable annual goals
-
Detailed descriptions of accommodations, modifications, and related services
-
Instructional strategies and tools tailored to the student's learning style
-
A roadmap for tracking progress and growth
IEPs at Trust The Journey Academy
We take IEPs seriously — because we know they can be life-changing. At Trust The Journey Academy, each student’s IEP is at the heart of their educational experience, guiding how we teach, support, and assess their progress.
Our team works closely with families and support professionals to create and implement IEPs that are:
-
Student-centered and strengths-based
-
Fully aligned with Ohio’s Extended Learning Standards
-
Supported by evidence-based programs like the STAR Program, Edmark Reading, and the Unique Learning System
-
Monitored regularly through data tracking, classroom observation, and family communication
We don’t just create IEPs — we live by them, ensuring every child receives the attention, resources, and encouragement they need to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

Families Are Our Partners
We believe that parents and caregivers are essential members of the IEP team. From the initial evaluation to annual reviews and beyond, we prioritize open communication and shared decision-making. Your insight, your advocacy, and your child’s voice matter.

A Plan With Purpose
At Trust The Journey Academy, an IEP is more than a document — it's a promise. A promise that your child’s education will be as unique, dynamic, and full of potential as they are.
