So, you’re wondering if your child’s IEP is on track. Let’s look at some signs. Is school harder for them than it should be? Are they not getting the help promised in their IEP? If you’re seeing these things, it’s okay to question what’s going on.
But how can you tell if things aren’t going as planned? Let’s go through some potential signs that your concerns might be valid. Have you noticed your child struggling more than usual, or not making the academic or social progress you’d expect? Is there an inconsistent use of the accommodations listed in their IEP, making school more challenging? And when you’ve reached out to the school staff to discuss these concerns, have they been unresponsive? If you're nodding your head, it’s time to take action.
