IEP Welcome Kit
Special Education can be overwhelming for families who are new to the process. They may be grappling with a new diagnosis for their child. They are trying to understand new jargon, acronyms, and legal processes. And other families may have warned them that the school is not on their side. This is a set-up for a tough relationship.
Our IEP Welcome Kit is a set of tools and templates to help you lay the foundation for clear, open, and warm communication with families new to Special Education. This allows you to build trust with these families, de-escalate tension, and stay focused on student success.
The IEP Welcome Kit will help you:
- Orient families to the process and their role
- Signal to new families that they are an important part of the IEP team
- Run IEP meetings that genuinely invite family participation
- Develop a communication plan that works for the staff and the family
- Address families’ most common questions
- Orient families to the process and their role
What's included?
- IEP meeting invitation cover letter
- Family IEP preparation checklist
- Student profile sheet for families
- School-Family Communication plan agreement
- Glossary of key Special Ed terms and acronyms
- And more!
