Welcome to the High Quality Individualized Education Program (IEP) Parent Toolkit. This toolkit is designed to help parents, including those adults who meet the definition of a parent, understand the IEP process and participate as informed, valued members of the IEP team. Whether you are just getting started or have participated in IEP meetings before, these resources are here to support you every step of the way.

The IEP is more than a meeting—it's an ongoing journey. Here you'll find resources to support you before, during, and after the IEP meeting, along with tools that explain the key components of a high-quality IEP and common special education terms. Explore the resources in the order that works best for you, or begin with the stage of the IEP journey where you are today.
