  1. Thanks fo taking time to post this wonderful example of an Indiviualized Home Instruction Plan.

    I may not have had an extensive IHIP as you have posted here, but now I have a clear idea of what I must do. Writing the letters of intent and IHIP can be a bit daunting. Creating a curriculem for the school year is scary. This post not only instructed me on what to write but also showed me what to teach my son. Thank You...Thank You ...Thank You.
