Common questions

What if the IEP is not being followed?
Document it in writing every time. The advocacy prompts help you write factual, dated follow-ups that create a record without burning the relationship.
Can I disagree with the IEP and still sign?
Yes, with exceptions noted. The disagreement prompt drafts the letter that states what you object to and what you want instead.
