How to prepare for an IEP Meeting

Whether it’s your first IEP meeting or your fifth, the experience is stressful. Parents and caregivers want to remember everything to say and ask, and also keep track of every decisions, discussions and idea. You also want to have all the relevant information needed to to make these decisions with you. To make sure you’re prepared and ease some of that stress, we recommend creating an IEP binder to keep all necessary paperwork organized and in one place.

Below are some things you may want to print out to use as a resource for helping prepare for your child's next IEP meeting.
