The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The IEP service logs and delivery 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.
Start with this guide when you suspect speech, OT, counseling, specialized instruction, transportation, or another IEP service was missed, shortened, or not documented.
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 delivered services match the IEP service grid by frequency, duration, location, and provider.
Missed, shortened, grouped, or made-up sessions that affect total service time.
Look for records showing absences, staffing, field trips, testing, or shortened days explain delivery gaps.
Make sure progress data shows the student was affected by missed or inconsistent services.
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
Service logs do not match the written minutes
Evidence to check
The IEP lists two 30-minute OT sessions each week, but the log shows several weeks with one session and no make-up notes.
Parent-safe next step
Ask for a date-based service summary and an IEP team discussion of missed minutes and student progress.
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.
IEP service grid
Upload the page listing service type, frequency, duration, provider, setting, group size, and start/end dates.
Service logs or delivery records
Include session notes, provider logs, attendance records, or district service reports if you have them.
Progress reports and parent log
Add goal progress data and your own date-based notes about missed sessions, pickups, absences, or makeups.
First written request
"Please provide the service delivery records for the dates listed below and compare them with the IEP service grid, including missed sessions, makeups, and provider notes."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"Which services were missed or shortened, how were they made up, and what does the progress data show?"
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.
Check if the IEP service logs and delivery 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 reports services were delivered but no session-level detail is available.
Ask what service records can be reviewed or provided.
Missed sessions are not made up and progress is limited.
Ask the IEP team to review service delivery and if compensatory services should be discussed.
The log does not match the IEP service grid.
Ask for clarification by date, service, provider, location, and minutes.
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.
