The NYC Public Schools Special Education Glossary provides plain-language definitions of common special education terms, including IEP, CPSE, CSE, evaluation, accommodations, modifications, related services, assistive technology, least restrictive environment, and transition services. Families can use it to better understand the language used during referrals, evaluations, IEP meetings, and special education planning.
