A recent issue of Education Week (March 24, 1999) described the plight of the Special Education teacher: 

“The nature of the job causes many of even the most dedicated teachers to lose their spark ... The paperwork and documentation related to the IEP has become a disincentive to entering special education, administrators say.  The IEP process has taken away much-needed time for individual instruction and lesson planning, contributing to teachers’ stress and the burnout rate.”

The situation has only worsened since that article was written.  EZ-IEP can help. EZ-IEP was designed by teachers to make the IEP process less cumbersome for the teacher and more relevant for the student.
