What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Check if the IEP promises direct service, consultation, classroom support, or a mix.
Confirm logs identify who received the service: student, teacher, aide, family, or team.
Look for records showing consult time is being counted as direct student service or vice versa.
Sample checker finding
Consultation and direct service are blurred
What the record shows
The IEP lists direct speech therapy and consult support, but the log combines them without showing which minutes were direct with the student.
What to ask for
Request in writing that the team separate direct and consult delivery records and compare them with the IEP service grid.
A written request you can use
Send one specific question
“Please separate the direct-service and consultation records for this date range, including who received the support, dates, minutes, provider role, and how each service connects to the IEP goals or accommodations.”
Document based IEP review
Check the pages you already have
The review reads the pages you upload, points to the wording behind each concern, and helps you prepare questions. It does not send anything to your school or decide a legal claim.
Common questions
What does consult vs direct service log review check?
It checks if the consult-versus-direct service record is specific, data-backed, and connected to the IEP sections that should guide services, supports, progress, or school decisions.
What should I look at first?
Start with the current IEP page tied to the concern, then compare it with the most recent evaluation, progress report, service log, school notice, or email that explains what happened.
What should I ask the school if something is missing?
Put the request in writing for the specific missing data, page, service detail, or written decision. Keep the request narrow so the school can answer it clearly.
