The "Surprise" Tactics Used in IEP Meetings
IEP meetings can move quickly, and statements such as "we don't do that here" or "he doesn't qualify for that" may be presented without the data or explanation needed to evaluate the decision.
Our meeting checklists help you ask the team to explain decisions using data and document proposals or refusals through Prior Written Notice when required.
