The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The assistive technology or AAC section 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 the student may need technology for reading, writing, communication, organization, access, or independence and the IEP is vague about tools or training.
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 aT was considered with enough data, not dismissed casually.
Confirm the device/tool, service, training, staff role, and setting are written.
Look for records showing access barriers are connected to goals or accommodations.
Make sure there is a plan to measure if the tool works.
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
AT is allowed but not implemented
Evidence to check
The IEP says text-to-speech may be used, but it does not say when, where, who sets it up, or how staff will monitor use.
Parent-safe next step
Request that the team clarify implementation, training, and data collection for the tool.
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.
AT consideration or evaluation pages
Upload the IEP section or evaluation that discusses assistive technology, AAC, reading tools, writing tools, or access devices.
Goals, accommodations, and service pages
Include supports that rely on technology, staff training, or student use.
Access examples
Add work samples, communication data, keyboarding/writing samples, or provider recommendations.
First written request
"Please show where the IEP documents the AT need, tool or trial, staff responsibility, training, setting, and method for measuring if it improves access."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"Which school task is inaccessible without AT, and what support will help the student use the tool consistently?"
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.
Check the written commitment
The audit looks for missing provider, frequency, duration, setting, baseline, or progress-reporting details.
Tie concerns to records
It keeps the focus on IEP pages, evaluations, service records, progress data, and written decisions.
Prepare one safer question
The result helps parents ask for clarification without turning a document issue into a broad legal claim.
Check if the assistive technology or AAC section 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.
AT is marked considered, but no data or trial is described.
Ask how the team considered AT and if an evaluation or trial is needed.
A tool is allowed but no staff training or implementation support is listed.
Ask who will teach, prompt, maintain, and monitor the tool.
The team focuses on a brand instead of the access need.
Ask which school task the AT must make accessible.
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.
