The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
A service grid can look official while still hiding unclear minutes, consultation instead of direct service, missing locations, or changes from the prior IEP.
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 you are staring at the service grid and cannot tell what your child is supposed to receive, who provides it, where it happens, or if minutes changed from the last IEP.
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.
A service entry missing frequency, duration, provider type, location, start date, or end date.
Consultation minutes that are not clearly separated from direct student service minutes.
A reduction from the prior IEP without clear progress data or team explanation in the record.
Service language that makes it hard to tell if missed sessions will be documented or made up.
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
The minutes are listed but not trackable
Evidence to check
The service entry gives a weekly total but does not make provider, setting, direct-versus-consult status, or missed-session documentation clear.
Parent-safe next step
Put this in writing: the team should clarify the service commitment and how delivery records can be reviewed.
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.
Service grid or service-delivery page
Upload the IEP page that lists special education, speech, OT, counseling, behavior, transportation, or other related services.
Prior IEP service page
Add the previous service grid if minutes, provider, setting, or service type may have changed.
Service log, progress report, or school email
Include one record if you are concerned services were missed, reduced, or delivered differently than written.
First written request
"Please clarify the provider, frequency, duration, location, and start date for this service, and explain how delivery will be documented if a session is missed or changed."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"What exact service should I expect my child to receive each week, and where will the record show if it happened?"
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.
Reads the service grid closely
The audit looks for the provider, frequency, duration, setting, and direct-versus-consultation language.
Compares service language to need
It checks if services line up with goals, Present Levels, evaluation findings, and progress concerns.
Frames a record question
The result helps parents ask for clarification or implementation documentation without overstating what the record proves.
Check if each service commitment is specific enough to schedule and track.
Confirm direct and consultative services are clearly distinguished.
Look for records showing service reductions or changes appear connected to current data.
Make sure the IEP gives parents a way to ask about missed or changed services.
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 IEP lists a service but leaves frequency, duration, provider, or location unclear.
Request that the team clarify the service grid in writing so everyone can tell what is supposed to happen.
Minutes were reduced, but the progress data does not explain why.
Ask what data supports the reduction and if Prior Written Notice or meeting notes explain the options considered.
You believe services were missed, but there is no simple record yet.
Start a calm date-based log and ask how the school documents delivery. For compensatory-service questions, verify local rules and consider qualified help.
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.
