Ep. 46 After the IEP: Your 30-Day Action Plan for Implementation Success

Last week I covered a 6-week IEP preparation timeline for success, but what happens next when your IEP meeting is over? What if there was a concrete action plan to ensure these vital supports actually happen? In this episode, I break down the critical steps to take in the first 30 days after your IEP meeting.

If you are ready to take control of your child's education and ensure their IEP is truly effective, then the 30-day action plan that I share today will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to make it happen!

Topics Covered:

• The most important thing to do in the first 48 hours after your IEP meeting [1:57]
• What to look for and be aware of when reviewing your draft IEP [3:20]
• Tips for monitoring with tracking sheets [4:31]
• A few common implementation challenges faced by parents [5:19]
• Things to put in place in order to begin build long-term accountability [6:44]

Key Takeaways:

• The work doesn't end with the IEP meeting itself, and implementing the plan is crucial and often overlooked
• The immediate documentation of the meeting, including verbal agreements and clarifications, is a vital first step
• Sending a follow-up email to the case manager to confirm understanding and document key points is important
• A careful review of the draft IEP before signing will allow for clarification and the addressing of any concerns
• Documenting and communicating through emails creates a valuable paper trail that can be beneficial in the future
