3. What should I do before the IEP meeting?

The purpose of the IEP meeting is to develop your child's Individualized Education Program. You can prepare for this meeting by:

• making a list of your child's strengths and weaknesses
• talking to teachers and/or therapists and getting their thoughts about your child
• visiting your child's class and perhaps other classes that may be helpful to him or her
• talking to your child about his or her feelings toward school
• It is a good idea to write down what you think your child can accomplish during the school year. It also helps to make notes about what you would like to say during the meeting.

If you would like help preparing for your child’s IEP meeting call Project Connect at 263-3323.
