Is your child’s IEP well-written? In this IEP Review session, participants will meet privately with a special education attorney to discuss IEP issues and concerns. There is no fee for this twenty minute review.  Here are some of the issues that will be addressed:
  • Appropriate and Measurable Goals
  • Services and Supports Which are Well-Described
  • Curriculum Adaptations and Modifications
  • Extended School Year
  • Related Services
  • Home Supports
  • Assistive Technology
  • Transition

Expert review of your IEP now can save problems down the road and help you in your efforts to collaborate with your child study team on meeting your child’s specific needs.  Space is limited and you must register for a specific appointment time.
