The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The child may have struggled for months while the school treated the issue as motivation, behavior, attendance, or intervention only.
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.
This page is for moments when school records show repeated warning signs and you need to organize if suspected disability and educational impact were clear enough to ask for evaluation now.
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.
Check if records show suspected disability-related needs and educational impact, not only frustration or low grades.
Which dates show the school knew or was told about academic, functional, behavior, attendance, communication, health, or social-emotional concerns.
Look for records showing the school responded with evaluation, consent, PWN, intervention only, informal supports, or no clear written response.
Which next step should be a dated evaluation request, records request, PWN request, or local/state timeline check.
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
Warning signs were scattered across records
Evidence to check
Teacher emails, attendance notes, and intervention data all show escalating avoidance and unfinished work, but the file does not show an evaluation response or PWN.
Parent-safe next step
Create a dated packet of concerns and ask the school to evaluate suspected areas or explain any refusal in writing.
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.
Dated concern records
Upload parent emails, teacher notes, referral records, report cards, intervention summaries, attendance, discipline, or work samples showing repeated concerns.
School response or intervention data
Include RTI, MTSS, SST, tutoring, behavior, counseling, attendance, or informal support records the school relied on.
Outside or health-related information
Add provider notes, outside evaluations, therapy summaries, or diagnoses only when they help explain school impact.
First written request
"I am requesting a full and individual evaluation because I suspect disability-related needs may be affecting school access, progress, attendance, behavior, or functional performance. Please let me know how to provide consent or provide Prior Written Notice if the school refuses."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"Which dated records show suspected disability and educational impact, and how did the school respond to those warning signs?"

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.
Review the IEP FirstWhat you get from the audit
The result is a prioritized review of the document, not another generic article.
Choose the first issue
The audit helps parents sort the concern that should be raised first from the concerns that can wait.
Anchor the concern in records
It points back to the IEP page, progress data, notice, or school message that makes the issue concrete.
Write the next request
Parents get language for a focused written ask instead of a broad complaint.
Check if the Child Find warning-sign and missed-evaluation 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.
The school says grades are passing, but attendance, behavior, work completion, or functional records show repeated impact.
Ask how those functional concerns were considered in deciding if evaluation was needed.
Concerns were raised repeatedly, but no evaluation consent or written refusal appears.
Send a dated written evaluation request and ask how the school will respond.
The record treats warning signs only as discipline, motivation, or truancy.
Ask if the team considered suspected disability and educational impact before continuing informal supports only.
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.
