The aim of this study was to examine how the process of IEP worked at six different schools, and how some of the schools professions, collaborated on the procedurers for the establishment and evaluation of the IEP. The aim has been to study how special educators and special education teachers, which in Sweden now are a part of the student health organization, collaborate with teachers in dealing with the challenges and opportunities which arise when working with IEP. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with twelve teachers including four special educators, a special education teacher and seven teachers. The result is reported based on three themes: anchoring of documents, the informants' perception of participation, documentation and the process of the IEP and an overall theme, communication, which we felt permeates all three of the above themes. The survey showed that the majority of teachers felt that there was a lack of clarity and uncertainty after an IEP has been written. Especially when it came to evaluating an IEP and when an IEP should be completed. Uncertainty about the differences between additional adaptations and special support appeared when it came to documentation and monitoring the IEP. The study showed that the obstacles that educators have encountered was the feeling of lack of time and lack of clarity in the work process of the IEP. This in turn contributed to obstacles in the school's approach to students in need of support.
