We Are Receving My Son's First IEP On Friday. What Should I Look For Or Expect? He's 13 In The 6th Grade.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

We have been in a private Christian school for 9 years and just moved to public school in September. They conducted the evaluations and determined that my son qualifies for Special Ed Assistance. They will give us his IEP on Friday. Since I've never seen one, what shoudl I expect? The public school has been great so far. I just don't know what an IEP even looks like, much less what it should contain.

Look at page 8. That page will tell you the accommodations that your child is going to receive. Make sure they follow it. Also, check out all the goals. The school system will be sending you updates on these. I know tons about IEPS and advocating if you want to talk.

Learn as much about your childs diagnosis, treatment available and what the least restrictive option is to help him. Goals should be measurable and a time to revisit them should be pre-determined. You can ask for revisions whenever you want. Its a legal, binding contract between the DoA and your child.

Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member. I'm sure I'll ask more questions when we get the IEP. Thank you for the information!
