April 5, 2016 | Dear John,  IDEA requires that the entire IEP Team meet at least annually to discuss a child’s progress and determine the contents of the IEP.
You are an equal IEP team participant. Your input holds equal weight with other information presented and considered. Facts first. - IEPs must be reviewed annually. (March 29)
- Parents are part of the team that develops and reviews the IEP.
- IEP goals should be specific, measurable, and tailored to the unique needs of your child.
- Parents can request an IEP review or revision at any time.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn the importance of your role at IEP meetings. Find out about preparing for the meeting, using contact logs for discussions with the school, & how to document what happens during the IEP process. We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
