IEP Meeting Prep Sheet
Walking into an IEP or 504 meeting with your own notes helps shift a meeting from happening to you to happening with you. This free one-page prep sheet is where you gather your child's strengths, the concerns you want to raise, the priorities and goals you care about, and the questions to ask — before you sit down at the table. Download it, fill it in, and bring it.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- Gathers your child's strengths, your concerns, the goals you care about, and your questions onto a single page you bring to the meeting.
- Helps you speak up for the plan without scrambling — record what your child needs, never a school- or parent-portal login or the full student ID.
- Prints to fill in by hand, or fills in on-screen, so you walk in prepared and leave knowing what to follow up on.
- Comes as a printable PDF and a fillable spreadsheet — nothing to sign up for, nothing saved anywhere but your own copy.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the whole binder behind the prep sheet?
This prep sheet gets you ready for one meeting. The full binder is the year-round records system behind it — a 10-tab workbook (Excel, Google Sheets & LibreOffice) plus four guides: a child snapshot, the accommodations, evaluations, the therapy schedule, providers, medications, and a meeting-notes paper trail.
A one-time purchase you keep and own — the structured binder between a note before a meeting and a rented special-ed app holding your child's records on someone else's server.
A record-organizing sheet for managing and advocating for your child's plan, not medical, legal, or educational advice, not a diagnosis or an evaluation, and not the IEP or 504 plan itself or a substitute for your child's team or a special-education attorney or advocate. Always defer to the signed plan and the professionals. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
