IEP Meeting Recommendations from Julie Hagy-Hancock

December 29, 2014 / Admin / Resources for Parents

Do you have an IEP meeting coming up? Here are some recommendations from Julie Hagy-Hancock, Special Education Advocate.

Ask to see results of testing prior to the meeting.
Write down your thoughts before the meeting. IEP meetings can be emotional, and it’s easy to forget to address important points.
You can request specific staff members be a part of the IEP team.
Ask questions. Ask team members to explain special education terminology and acronyms.
Offer suggestions! You have a unique knowledge of your child. This knowledge will help the team build effective supports.
Bring outside support when needed.
To the extent possible, involve your child in planning.
