You are invited to join our Virtual IEP Training and Binder Workshop. Creating an IEP binder can be as simple or as detailed as you want it to be. The most important step is organizing your documents so they are easy to find when you need them.

Start with a basic 3-ring binder and section dividers (which we will provide). Then gather your materials and label your sections. We recommend placing an updated photo of your child on the front of the binder to help keep the team focused on your child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Organizing your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), evaluation reports, and other important paperwork can help you prepare for meetings, track your child’s progress, and partner more effectively with the school.

This training will show you how to create and use an IEP binder to stay organized and confident during the IEP process.

Supplies we suggest to build your IEP Binder (reuse/recycle supplies encouraged):
• Binder
• Tab dividers
• Pen
• Highlighter
• Pencil pouch
• Resources and notes
• Your child’s most recent IFSP, IEP, or 504 documents
• Assessments completed within the last year
• A copy of your procedural safeguards
• Any other documentation you would like to include
• An updated photograph of your child

More About the IEP Training

If your child receives special education services, they must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). An IEP is an important legal document that outlines your child’s learning needs, the services the school will provide, and how progress will be measured.

The more you know about the IEP process and the law that provides for IEPs — the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) — the better prepared you will be to advocate for your child.

This training will cover:
• The 6 Principles of IDEA
• The eligibility process
• IEP attendees, process, and timelines
• Service delivery
• Legal protections and procedural safeguards

Don’t miss this workshop and the opportunity to learn more about IDEA and how to become a more effective member of your child’s IEP team.
