IEP Team Meeting Guide for Families

Parents, you are an expert in your child! Your thoughts, questions, and feedback are valuable in the IEP development. In this role, it is essential that you understand the IEP and its parts, why the IEP is important, and the valuable role you play in creating the IEP. This resource includes information to consider before, during, and after the IEP meeting. It includes information about the parts of the meeting, questions to consider asking during the meeting, and a place to take notes.

Educators, we encourage you to share and review this guide with families to ensure they have a clear understanding of the IEP development process and the important role they play.
