IEP Meetings 

Getting ready means looking over your child's current IEP and reports, writing down your worries and goals, and knowing what help to ask for.

When you walk in organized, you feel calm and in control. Our workshop gives you a complete IEP meeting checklist and worksheets, so nothing slips through the cracks.

It's a simple list of what to do before, during, and after your meeting. It keeps you on track and makes sure you don't forget anything important. You walk in ready and walk out with a clear plan.

This workshop gives you ready-to-use checklists made just for parents.

Good ones to ask are: How is my child doing on their goals? What help are you offering, and why? How will you measure progress? What happens if the plan isn't working?

Our workshop helps you get your questions ready ahead of time, so you feel sure of yourself at the table.

Usually there's you, a general education teacher, a special education teacher, someone from the school district, possibly a related service provider, and someone who can explain the test results. Sometimes your child comes too.

Remember, you are an equal member of the team. Our workshop explains what each person does, so no one feels like a stranger.

Most meetings follow a general order. The team looks at how your child is doing, talks about test results, sets goals, and decides on the help your child will get. You have the right to share your thoughts and ask questions the whole way through.

Our workshop walks you through what to expect at each step, so nothing catches you off guard.

Bring your child's current IEP, any recent reports or testing, a written list of your worries and goals, notes on what's working and what isn't, and any parent input letters.

Our workshop includes worksheets to help you get all of this ready before you go.

Yes, whether it's your first meeting or your tenth. If you've ever left a meeting feeling unheard or confused about what just happened, this workshop is for you.

You'll get the tools to walk in prepared and take charge of your child's plan with confidence. You can also check our other online IEP workshops for more answers and tools.

The meeting isn't the end.

Afterward, read through the paperwork the school gives you and make sure it matches what the team agreed to. If something looks off, you can speak up. Keep a copy of everything for your records. Our workshop shows you how to follow up, so all your hard work at the table actually sticks.
