The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The disciplinary-removal service 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.
Start with this guide when your child is suspended, removed, placed in IAES, or missing instruction because of discipline and you need to know what services are being provided and documented. First pull incident packet, removal dates, IEP, FBA, BIP, MDR notice, service plan, and parent input. Do not assuming the 10-day rule, manifestation result, or stay-put answer without the actual discipline record and local help.
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 services allow the student to participate in the general curriculum and progress toward IEP goals during removal when required.
What special education, related services, behavior intervention services, or modifications are actually being delivered.
Look for records showing the service plan changes when removals pass important discipline thresholds or the student is placed in IAES.
Make sure missed services, inaccessible work, or unsupported behavior needs are documented.
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
Removal services are not documented
Evidence to check
The student has been out for several school days, but the record only shows packets sent home and no service schedule, related-service notes, or behavior support plan.
Parent-safe next step
Put the request in writing for the service plan during removal and the records showing delivery.
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.
Removal and placement records
Upload suspension letters, IAES notices, attendance records, removal logs, and any MDR or placement decision.
Service and instruction records
Include service logs, assignments, home instruction notes, online access records, related-service logs, and progress reports.
IEP, FBA, BIP, and behavior data
Add the pages that show goals, services, behavior supports, accommodations, and the data tied to the behavior.
First written request
"Please provide the educational services, related services, behavior supports, assignments, provider schedule, and progress-monitoring records for the disciplinary removal dates listed below."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"How will the student participate in instruction and make progress toward IEP goals during this removal, and where is that service plan documented?"
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.
Check the IEP LanguageWhat 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.
Which services are promised during the removal and which records show they happened.
Confirm the records address general curriculum access, IEP goal progress, and behavior supports.
Which service gaps should become a written question to the school.
Which service, placement, or state-specific issue needs local verification before the parent relies on it.
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 child is removed but no one can identify the service plan.
Ask what instruction and IEP services are being provided during the removal.
Assignments are sent home but related services or behavior supports stop.
Ask how each IEP service and BIP support is being delivered or documented.
The IAES or home setting is named but access to work and services is vague.
Ask for a written schedule, provider list, and progress-monitoring plan.
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.
