IDEA requires that the IEP is completed before placement decisions are made so that the student's educational needs drive the IEP development process. Schools may not develop a child's IEP to fit into a pre-existing program for a particular classification of disability; the placement is chosen to fit the IEP, which is written to fit the student.

Examples of the medical model may look like professionals in an individualized education plan (IEP) being the authority. Their goal is to fix the disability or "normalize" the individual. [11] DSE has its origins in sociological theories of deviance, social stigma [12] [13] [14] and labeling theory [15] [16] [17] as social construction. [18]
Special education in the United States enables students with exceptional learning needs to access resources through special education programs.
