Hi Joseph! You're right. The IEP provides for customization to individual needs and establishes a framework for accountability.
On the other side of the token, do you see any challenges (other than being a percieved crutch sometimes)in the IEP process, particularly for students who are headed to a general, bottom- lined and often unkind work environment that may not customize their job descriptions accordingly? Is there a link? Am I off the mark?
