How do I know if the IEP has all the services my child needs?

Gather information about your child’s progress. Talk to their teachers. Keep track of their report cards and progress reports.

If you are concerned that your child is not getting the help they need, ask the school to do an evaluation.

For example,

If your child does not have speech language services, but you think they may need them, ask for an evaluation in speech.

If you disagree with the school’s evaluations, or if you are still unsure if your child needs more or different services, get an independent evaluation.
