What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Do present levels describe Auditory Access, Vocabulary Development, Social Communication with current examples instead of only naming Deaf or Hard of Hearing?
Do goals teach the skills most connected to the student's access problems?
Do accommodations such as Sign language interpreter or CART captioning services and FM system or hearing assistive technology appear in the written plan where staff can actually use them?

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 should I review first in a Deaf or Hard of Hearing IEP?
Start with present levels and the most recent evaluation. Then compare those needs with goals, services, accommodations, and progress reports to see if the plan is connected.
Does a Deaf or Hard of Hearing diagnosis automatically mean the IEP is strong enough?
No. The label is only a starting point. The IEP still needs individualized present levels, measurable goals, services, accommodations, and progress monitoring.
Can I ask for changes after reviewing the IEP?
Yes. Parents can ask for an IEP meeting or clarification in writing. Keep the request tied to the IEP page and the record that supports the concern.
