Quick Shout Tip: Take Back Control Before Your Next IEP Meeting

It’s critical you know these important IEP terms.

Does it feel like the school team is leading the conversation, and you are just trying to keep up?

Writing things down helps quiet the overload so you can stay calm, centered, and ready to advocate. Taking your own notes creates a record you can rely on later. It helps prevent misunderstandings and makes sure your concerns are captured.

 

Use the IEP Meeting Summary to track your notes. Includes a Jargon Decoder page with common IEP terms so confusing language never catches you off guard.
