Project 2025, an initiative by The Heritage Foundation, aims to provide a blueprint for the next conservative president to reform the government. There have been concerns about whether Project 2025 would lead to the elimination of individualized education plans (IEPs), which are designed to meet the specific learning needs of students with disabilities. The VERIFY team investigated this question. According to their sources, including The Heritage Foundation and various disability advocacy groups, Project 2025 does not propose eliminating IEPs. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that IEPs remain in place to ensure that students with disabilities receive necessary educational services.
