“Please point me to the data and IEP pages that support the proposed goals, services, accommodations, and placement, and provide Prior Written Notice if the team is refusing a requested change.”

Check the pages you already have

The review reads the pages you upload, points to the wording behind each concern, and helps you prepare questions. It does not send anything to your school or decide a legal claim.

Common questions

What should I review first for IEP Service Minutes Review?

Start with the current IEP and the most recent evaluation. Compare the student's documented needs with the Present Levels, annual goals, services, accommodations, and progress reports.

Can I ask the school for IEP changes after reviewing the document?

Yes. Parents can request an IEP meeting at any time. Put the concern and requested change in writing. If the school refuses, ask for Prior Written Notice explaining the refusal and the data used.

What documents should I bring to an IEP review?

Bring the current IEP, the most recent evaluation, progress reports, work samples, relevant emails, attendance or discipline records when applicable, and a short list of your top concerns.
