Abstract
This article describes characteristics of Individualized Education Pro grams (IEPs) of 46 students from nine different states in kindergarten through Grade 12 who have multiple disabilities and receive all or pa rt of their education in general education classes. Through categorica l coding of the students' IEP goals and objectives, several themes wer e identified that highlight problematic characteristics of IEPs. Alter natives are suggested that the authors believe may more adequately com municate the unique needs of individual students to their teachers in general education classes and improve the usefulness of IEPs.
