The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The accessible educational materials record can look official while still leaving out the details a parent needs to understand what the school is promising, refusing, or measuring.
The free audit checks the language in the actual IEP against the student's documented needs so you can focus on the pages and questions that matter most.
Start with the situation you are actually in.
Open this review when the student needs accessible text, captions, screen-reader access, digital format, large print, Braille, audio, simplified layout, or platform support to participate.
This page is for preparing clearer school questions, not for deciding legal claims. The strongest next step is usually a specific written request tied to the IEP page and the data behind it.
The audit can review the IEP pages you include.
It does not stop at one concern or a short checklist. When the relevant pages are included, the audit reviews major IEP sections for unclear language, missing context, documentation gaps, and issues that may deserve a written question.
Evaluations and Present Levels
Check that the IEP describes the student's needs, strengths, baseline data, and current performance.
Goals and Progress Monitoring
Confirm goals are measurable, tied to documented needs, and supported by clear progress-reporting methods.
Services and Accommodations
Look for supports that are individualized, specific enough to follow, and clear about provider, frequency, duration, and setting.
Placement and Access
Review how the plan addresses classroom access, least restrictive environment, behavior, communication, and related-service needs.
Parent Concerns and Team Decisions
Make sure parent input, school refusals, Prior Written Notice, and important meeting decisions are documented clearly.
Procedure Questions to Verify
Identify notice, timeline, refusal, or vague-commitment questions that may need local verification before a parent relies on them.
What this review pays attention to
Along with the included IEP pages above, the audit pays special attention to these issues that may be relevant to this concern. These are examples of extra scrutiny, not the limits of the review.
Which materials need accessible format and when they must be available.
Who prepares textbooks, worksheets, videos, online platforms, tests, and homework access.
Look for records showing the support applies across classes, substitutes, state testing, and home assignments.
What data shows the student can access grade-level content without waiting for retrofits.
A useful result points to a record, not a panic spiral.
This is the kind of parent-facing output the page is built around: a specific IEP section, the reason it deserves review, and one calm next step before any broader escalation.
Finding
Materials access is too late to be useful
Evidence to check
The IEP mentions digital text, but worksheets and online assignments are not prepared in accessible form before instruction.
Parent-safe next step
Ask for an accessible-materials plan covering formats, timing, responsible staff, platforms, and homework.
Upload only the records needed for this concern.
You do not need a perfect binder or every school record. Start with the current IEP pages tied to the issue, then add only the few records that explain the concern most clearly.
Accommodation page
Upload the page that names accessible educational materials, including when it applies and who helps.
Present levels or evaluation data
Add the record that explains why this support is needed for access or progress.
Classroom example
Include one assignment, teacher message, progress note, or incident showing how the support is or is not working.
First written request
"Please clarify which educational materials need accessible format, who prepares them, when they will be available, and how the team will handle online platforms, tests, videos, and homework."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"Will the accessible material be ready before instruction, or only after the student has already lost access?"
Get clearer questions from your actual IEP.
You do not need to compare every page to a checklist. Upload the relevant pages and let the audit help organize sections that may need clarification, weak language, or possible next questions.
Scan My IEP FirstWhat you get from the audit
The result is a prioritized review of the document, not another generic article.
Review the plan in front of you
The audit checks the IEP pages parents are being asked to use, sign, or discuss.
Spot the unclear section
It looks for goals, services, accommodations, progress language, or parent concerns that need a clearer written answer.
Prepare a focused next question
Parents get a document-based question they can bring to the team before agreeing to the plan.
Check if the accessible educational materials record is specific enough for a parent to understand and the team to implement.
Which IEP page, evaluation, progress report, service log, or school notice should be checked first.
Which missing detail should become the first written question.
Which legal, deadline, consent, or state-specific issue should be verified before relying on the page.
How the free audit works
Upload the IEP you want checked
Use the current document from the school. You do not need to highlight it, organize it, or know which section is wrong first.
The audit reviews the pages you upload
When those pages are included, it reviews goals, services, accommodations, progress monitoring, parent concerns, and procedure questions for unclear language or missing context.
Get prioritized findings
See which sections may need review first, which page to ask about, and what to raise with the school.
Reasons parents run this audit
If any of these sound familiar, the written IEP deserves a closer look.
Accessible materials arrive after the class has already completed the work.
Ask for preparation timing and staff responsibility.
Only textbooks are covered while worksheets, videos, and platforms remain inaccessible.
Ask the IEP team to review all instructional materials.
Access format is confused with lowered expectations.
Ask if the material is accommodated or modified and where that decision is documented.
You do not have to sort through the IEP by yourself.
Start with the concern. When you want document-specific help, upload only the relevant IEP pages and the few records that explain the issue.
