Background

The Supreme Court in the landmark Endrew F. decision of 2017, stated unequivocally, “The IEP must aim to enable the child to make progress. After all, the essential function of an IEP is to set out a plan for pursuing academic and functional advancement.” The Supreme Court went on to explain that parent input is essential, stating, “The Act contemplates that this fact-intensive exercise will be informed not only by the expertise of school officials, but also by the input of the child’s parents or guardians.”

What does this mean for you?

We know that you, parents, want to ensure that your children are making educational and functional progress. However, you often come into IEP/504 meetings feeling overwhelmed, unprepared, and outnumbered. Individualized Education Planning provides you with the information and direction that allows you to become meaningful partners in the process. Our Individualized Education Analysis provides powerful information to share with the school team that shapes the present levels of the IEP/504 and that then informs what will be in the goals, supplementary aids, accommodations, and ultimately will lead to a description of the services and placement to which your child is entitled. The action plan section of the analysis makes it clear what next steps you will take to ensure your child will be progressing towards realizing his or her unique potential.
