Does Your Child’s IEP Really Meet Their Needs?
If you’re a parent of a child with disabilities, you probably know the IEP (Individualized Education Program) is supposed to be the roadmap for their education. But unfortunately, sometimes that roadmap gets outdated, confusing, or just doesn’t seem to help your child the way it should.
That’s why I offer an IEP Check-Up. Think of it like a check-up at the doctor’s office, but for your child’s education plan.
What Happens in an IEP Check-Up?
I take a close look at your child’s current IEP with a trained eye (I’ve worked inside school systems and know what to look for). I’ll check things like:
Are all areas of concern accounted for in goals and accommodations?
Do the goals make sense for where your child is right now?
Are accommodations clear enough for teachers to actually use them?
Is anything important missing that could make your child’s school life easier?
Why Parents Find It Helpful
So many families tell me they know something isn’t quite right with the IEP, but they’re not sure what to do about it. An IEP Check-Up gives you:
A simple explanation of what’s working and what isn’t
A list of changes you can ask for at your next meeting
More confidence when talking with your child’s school team
When It’s a Good Time for a Check-Up
Right at the start of the school year, so things kick off on the right foot
If your child isn’t making progress (or is even slipping backwards)
If you’re feeling uneasy but can’t quite put your finger on why
Let’s Make Sure Your Child’s IEP Works for Them
Your child deserves an IEP that truly supports their growth and makes school a better place to be. An IEP Check-Up is a simple, stress-reducing way to get clarity and a plan.
