Document based IEP review

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 bring to a Kindergarten IEP meeting?

Bring the current or draft IEP, progress reports, proposed goals, the meeting notice, and evidence such as work samples showing letter, number, drawing, play, and listening demands or teacher notes about transitions, whole-group lessons, centers, recess, and specials.

What should I ask before signing or agreeing?

Ask which pages will change, what data supports the decision, when you will receive the updated IEP, and what the school will put in Prior Written Notice if it refuses a request.

How should I prioritize Kindergarten meeting questions?

Start with the issue most connected to daily access, progress, or classroom routines, early literacy and math access, peer participation, and independence with adult support. Keep the first ask narrow enough that the team can answer in writing.
