The eight sections

  • 01 Know Your Rights: IEP vs 504, safeguards, prior written notice.
  • 02 Before the Meeting: child snapshot, IEP at a glance, concerns, questions.
  • 03 Meetings and Progress: meeting notes, evaluation results, goal progress.
  • 04 The Paper Trail: communication log and correspondence tracker.
  • 05 Patterns and Evidence: daily and weekly trackers that turn bad days into a pattern.
  • 06 Services Owed: the minutes ledger and a compensatory claim worksheet.
  • 07 The Letter Vault: eight letters, plus the rules for sending one.
  • 08 Extras: important dates, notes and where to get free help.

Fill in by hand or with a stylus

The template is a set of PDFs, made to be written on during a meeting rather than typed up afterwards. Use the tablet edition in GoodNotes, Notability or Samsung Notes, or print it in US Letter or A4. A print guide names the pages worth printing, so you never print all 95.

Use it every year

Because nothing is dated, the same files carry on to next year's IEP. One payment, no subscription.
