The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The discipline, removal, and shortened-day records 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.
Use this page if your child is being sent home, suspended, removed from class, shortened, or repeatedly called out of instruction and you need to compare those removals with IEP supports.
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.
Formal suspensions and informal removals from instruction.
Confirm the IEP includes behavior supports, services, or accommodations tied to the pattern.
Look for records showing missed services or shortened days are being documented.
Make sure an FBA, BIP review, MDR, meeting, or written request may be needed.
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
Informal removals are not in the record
Evidence to check
You picked your child up early six times for behavior, but the attendance and discipline records do not show how much instruction was missed.
Parent-safe next step
Ask the school to confirm the removal dates and review if IEP supports need to change.
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.
Discipline and attendance records
Upload suspensions, incident reports, attendance, shortened-day notices, and removal logs.
Current IEP, FBA, and BIP
Include behavior supports, services, accommodations, and placement pages.
Parent pickup or school-call log
Add your own date-based record of calls, pickups, early dismissals, or time out of instruction.
First written request
"Please provide the discipline, attendance, removal, and behavior records for the dates listed below and schedule an IEP team review of the support plan."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"How much instruction has been missed, and what IEP support will change to reduce removals?"
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.
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 discipline, removal, and shortened-day records 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 calls for pickup without documenting removals.
Keep a date-based log and ask how time out of instruction is recorded.
Discipline increases while supports stay unchanged.
Ask for an IEP meeting to review behavior supports and implementation.
A shortened day is used as the default support.
Ask what data and IEP team decision support the schedule change.
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.
