I remember walking into our first IEP meeting feeling completely overwhelmed.There were people around the table I'd never met. Acronyms flying everywhere. Decisions being made about my child's education — and I didn't know if I was asking the right questions, or any questions at all. I walked out unsure of what had actually been decided.I never want that for another parent.You belong at that table. And more than that — you are the most important person in that room. You know your child better than anyone sitting across from you. This workbook makes sure your voice is heard.Inside you'll find:→ IEP vs. 504: what they are, what they cover, and which one fits your child→ A full breakdown of your legal rights as a parent (know these before you walk in)→ A terms & definitions guide: FAPE, LRE, IEE, Prior Written Notice, and more — in plain language→ A before-the-meeting prep checklist and documents to gather→ During-the-meeting notes pages so nothing gets lost→ An after-the-meeting follow-through tracker — including the paper trail you needYou are not asking for special treatment. You are asking for what your child is legally entitled to. There is a difference — and you are allowed to know it.Printable PDF · Write directly on paper · Part 3 of 6 in The Parent Navigation Toolkit
