IEP meeting prep pack
Walking in with this changes the dynamic of the room. Ten minutes now produces a parent input statement, your questions, and an agenda — printable, and part of the official record if you send it ahead.
The basics
What you want them to understand
Be concrete. "Needs three prompts to start written work" lands; "struggles with focus" does not.
Common questions
Can I see the draft IEP before the meeting?
Yes — request it in writing, in advance. Reading it first changes the entire dynamic of the conversation.
Should I send this to the school beforehand?
Usually yes. Sent in advance it becomes part of the record and frames the meeting before it starts.
They agreed to something but it is not in the document.
Verbal agreements are not binding. Ask for it to be written in before the meeting ends.
Is anything I type here stored?
No. It never leaves your browser.
