Free IEP Checklist

Download our free IEP Meeting Preparation Checklist —
the same checklist built into our Annual Renewal Checklist tool.

Before the meeting:
□ Request a copy of your child’s current IEP at least 5 days before
□ Review all current goals — are they measurable?
□ List services your child receives and confirm they are being delivered
□ Gather any private evaluations or therapist letters
□ Write down your top 3 concerns to raise
□ Bring a support person if allowed in your district

At the meeting:
□ Ask for the meeting to be recorded (check your state/province rules)
□ Do not sign anything the same day — you have the right to review
□ Ask: “What data shows my child is making progress toward each goal?”
□ Ask: “What happens if my child doesn’t meet this goal?”
□ Request all decisions confirmed in writing within 5 school days

After the meeting:
□ Send a follow-up email summarising what was agreed
□ Set a calendar reminder to check service delivery in 30 days
□ Use the IEP Navigator app to generate any letters or scripts needed

Want a personalised checklist based on your child’s specific
diagnosis, region, and past year? Use our Annual Renewal Checklist
tool inside the app.
