What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Check if specialized instruction is written with frequency, duration, setting, provider role, and start date.
Confirm the delivery record shows dates, minutes, location, cancellations, make-ups, and shortened sessions.
Look for records showing progress reports still make sense if sessions were missed, reduced, or delivered in a different setting.
Sample checker finding
Resource minutes are listed but delivery details are unclear
What the record shows
The IEP lists specialized instruction minutes, but the parent file does not show dates, provider, setting, missed sessions, or connection to the annual goals.
What to ask for
Request that the team compare the service grid, delivery record, and progress reports before changing the plan.
A written request you can use
Send one specific question
“Please review the specialized-instruction delivery record, including dates, minutes, provider role, setting, missed sessions, make-ups, and how instruction connects to IEP goal progress.”
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 specialized instruction service log review check?
It checks if the specialized instruction service grid and delivery record 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.
