Walk into your next IEP meeting prepared.
A practical system for preparing before the meeting, participating during the meeting, and following through afterward, from organizing educational records to documenting decisions.
This isn't just a book to read. It's a workbook to use: written in, brought to the meeting, and kept with your family's educational records.
You do not have to know every answer before an IEP meeting. But you should know your concerns, understand your child's current program, organize the information you have, prepare meaningful questions, and document what happens next.
This workbook will help you…
- Organize educational records.
- Identify concerns and priorities.
- Review the current IEP.
- Examine goals and progress.
- Consider accommodations and modifications.
- Prepare questions.
- Document meeting decisions.
- Follow up after the meeting.

After the meeting

New Hope Advocacy Member Vault
