Get ready to rock your child's IEP meetings with these helpful and free IEP resources for parents.
Advocating for your child can be exhausting and many parents - not just you - find the whole IEP process stressful, overwhelming, and maybe even frustrating.
There's multiple meetings, loads of paperwork, and probably a handful of face palm moments in between.
But getting the services your child needs and deserves requires a lot of advocating on your part. And it's worth it if you work together and collaborate with the IEP team. Putting together an IEP binder or toolkit of your own can be a great way to get a head start on the whole IEP process as you head into a new school year.
I already mentioned the paperwork, right?
So it's best to be organized!
You may find it helpful to have some kind of filing system in place. Or you might find having a binder to keep it all handy is just what you need. You could even try using a pre-made IEP organizer to save you the time and energy of putting your own together, if you can find one you like.
Regardless of what you choose, it's really about finding what is right for your family. And I hope you will find these free IEP resources for parents below helpful, either to use or as inspiration for creating something that fits your family.
