For parents and caregivers of K–12 students
The IEP Meeting Prep Kit is a printable, fillable kit. It helps you put your concerns on paper, ask clear questions, and keep track of what the school agreed to. It's written in plain language, and every term is defined.
This kit is for parents and caregivers of K–12 students who have an IEP, or who are being evaluated for one. Does this sound familiar?
You got the meeting notice. You're not sure what to bring or what to ask.
Afterward, it's hard to remember what was agreed and who will do what.
But it's hard to put your concerns into words in a room full of people.
It works for an initial eligibility meeting, an annual review, a reevaluation, or a transition meeting for teens.
This kit is not a fit if you need advice about your child's specific situation. We can't review your child's IEP. See the free help listed in the FAQ.

No. It is educational information and organizing tools. Buying it does not create a professional relationship of any kind. We can't review your child's IEP or advise you about your child's situation.

We can't promise any result. The kit helps you prepare, share your concerns clearly, and keep good records. The IEP team makes the decisions.
If you live in Illinois, choose the Illinois Edition. It cites Illinois rules. If you live in any other state, choose the General Edition. It cites federal IDEA rules and includes a page for writing down your own state's rules.
It covers federal IDEA rules, which apply in every state. Your state may add more protections. Use the "Look up your state's rules" page to write them down. For free help, look up your state's Parent Training and Information Center at parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center.
Public Act 104-716 amends the Illinois School Code section the Illinois Edition cites. When we compared the text, the change in that section renames the "Illinois School for the Visually Impaired" to the "Illinois School for the Blind." We did not find any change to the timelines in the kit. You'll still get a free updated version after it takes effect.
It's an instant digital download from Etsy. After you buy, you download 1 ZIP file. Nothing physical will be shipped.
For filling in, a computer or tablet with Adobe Acrobat Reader works best. You can also print every page.
Yes. Upload the .xlsx and .docx files to your own Google Drive.
