Time-sensitive

Don't wait until fall.

Most parents don't review their child's IEP until school starts.

By then, schedules, services, and placement decisions may already be in place.

Summer is the best time to identify concerns, strengthen supports, and prepare for the upcoming school year.

IEP Clarity Review
Sample

Overall read

Plan overview

This IEP supports a 3rd grader with specific learning disability in reading. The plan includes reasonable accommodations and one strong math goal, but the reading program lacks measurable baselines and service minutes appear below what the evaluation recommends.

What you get

Red flags

Vague goals, missing baselines, watered-down services, and unclear language — surfaced before the meeting.

Frequently asked

Questions parents ask first.

Is this for you?

Not sure if your child's IEP needs review?

You may benefit from a review if:

  • Your child is struggling despite having an IEP
  • You disagree with school recommendations
  • You have an upcoming IEP meeting
  • You are concerned about goals, services, or placement
  • You feel overwhelmed by special education paperwork
A note from Tracy

For more than 20 years, I've worked with students, families, teachers, and school districts. I created IEP Clarity because too many parents leave IEP meetings confused about what was discussed and what their options are.

My goal is simple: help families understand their child's IEP and feel confident advocating for the supports their child needs.
