What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Check if oT needs are school-based and tied to access, participation, or progress.
Confirm the IEP lists services, accommodations, assistive tools, or environmental supports clearly.
Look for records showing sensory or motor needs are addressed before being treated as behavior.

What the record shows

What to ask for
Put this in writing: the team should review school-based OT supports and if current accommodations are enough.

“Please show where the IEP addresses the OT-related access barriers and how the team will measure if those supports are working.”
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 does occupational therapy iep review check?
It checks if the school-based occupational therapy supports is specific, data-backed, and connected to the IEP sections that should guide services, supports, progress, or school decisions.
What should I look at first?
Start with the current IEP page tied to the concern, then compare it with the most recent evaluation, progress report, service log, school notice, or email that explains what happened.
What should I ask the school if something is missing?
Put the request in writing for the specific missing data, page, service detail, or written decision. Keep the request narrow so the school can answer it clearly.
