  1. Understanding IEP - In this section you will find an overview of the entire IEP process, including who qualifies for an IEP, who is on the IEP team and the different parts of the IEP document.

  2. Know Your Rights - Here is an outline of the most important laws and terms to familiarize yourself with, including IDEA, ADA, Section 504, FAPE, and more!

  3. Come Prepared - There are so many ways you can prepare for your child’s IEP meeting, and in this section you will find commonly asked questions, as well as information the IEP team will likely request in the meeting.

  4. Maintain Open Communication - Here you will find information on how to maintain open communication with your child’s teachers, SLP, OT, school psychologist and other members of the IEP team.

  5. Speak Up! - This last section includes includes tips on how to advocate for child in a respectful way…after all, you are your child’s loudest voice and knowing how to use it is key!
