Some good ideas – thank you! My son, age 8, has Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic hunger. The ice breaking cookie needs to become a non-food related item. I’ve seen play-doh used as an ice breaker. Some of the most successful teachers I’ve seen have had food-free classrooms. Rewards and ice-breakers do not have to be food. Seriously, though, love your site and ideas.

This is a great list but food and drinks in an IEP meeting are a HUGE no-no in our district.

Also have realistic expectations. Some children may not be diploma bound. Don’t make that decision too early but waiting until 11th grade hurts your child more than you know it.

Bring your positive attitude! IEP meetings are not a battle, not us against them. It’s a group trying to figure out the best program for your child.

My daughter will be receiving her first IEP this year. The kit would help me become organized and ready!

Don’t hesitate to ask to add a specific goal to your child’s IEP. This is a team effort, an individualized plan, and if there is something you think the school can help you accomplish in your child’s best interest, add it!

What a great kit. Being new to having an IEP for my son this would help out a lot.
