IEP Review and Document Analysis
Why Parents seek Document Reviews
Many parents receive an IEP, evaluation, or school report and are unsure if it truly supports their child’s needs. A document review provides clarity and helps families understand whether the plan is appropriate or if important supports may be missing,
A document review helps you understand:
whether the school evaluation is accurate
if the goals are appropriate
whether services are adequate
what important supports may be missing
Our advocates carefully review your child’s documents and provide clear recommendations to help you advocate for appropriate services.
Documents We Review
-
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding plan developed by the school to outline the special education services, accommodations, goals, and supports a student with a disability will receive.
-
An Evaluation Team Report (ETR) summarizes the results of the school’s evaluation to determine whether a child qualifies for special education services. It includes testing results, observations, and eligibility decisions.
-
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who is not employed by the school district. Parents may request an IEE when they disagree with the school’s evaluation.
-
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) identifies the reasons behind challenging behaviors at school by analyzing what triggers the behavior and what the student may be trying to communicate or achieve.
-
Progress reports and school assessments track how a student is performing academically and whether they are making progress toward their IEP goals.
-
A Section 504 Plan provides accommodations and supports for students with disabilities so they can access the general education curriculum, even if they do not qualify for special education under an IEP.
-
These reports may include cognitive testing, academic assessments, speech and language evaluations, or psychological evaluations used to understand a student’s learning strengths and challenges.
-
A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is a plan developed to address challenging behaviors by teaching replacement skills and outlining strategies for school staff to support the student.
