Preparing for an IEP

Walk into your child's IEP meeting calm, prepared, and confident.

Preparing for an IEP is a quick, parent-friendly guide designed to help you cut through jargon, ask the right questions, and leave with a clear plan you can actually track. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just a simple system that works-whether this is your first IEP or you've been through meetings that left you confused and frustrated.

Inside you'll get:
• A one-page "Parent Sheet" that focuses the whole meeting fast
• A step-by-step method to choose your top 3 priorities (so the meeting doesn't spiral)
• Goal language that turns "we'll work on it" into measurable progress
• A services/supports checklist so what's promised actually gets written down
• Word-for-word scripts to stay calm, clear, and respected
• A Top 10 Questions page (print it and bring it)
• A simple "Next 30 Days" plan to make sure the IEP is implemented
• A closing pep talk that keeps you grounded and focused

If you've ever thought, "I should've said something,"
or if this is your first IEP,
this book is for you.
