Parents and Educators Get Guidance on Enforcing IEPs

Guidance for parents outlines steps to verify that an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is being followed, including gathering concrete evidence of missed accommodations, reviewing the current plan, and communicating calmly with teachers and school staff.

A complementary guide for educators emphasizes a strengths‑based approach to writing IEPs, encouraging the focus on students' abilities and interests, and provides ready‑made phrasing to describe strengths across academic and personal domains.
