Appendix A: Sample Letters for Parents
5. Requesting a Meeting to Review the Individualized Education Program (IEP)
If your child is receiving special education services, he or she must have a written plan
known as an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP lists, among other things,
annual goals and objectives for your child and it also lists the special education and re-
lated services that he or she will receive. You are a member of the team that writes your
child’s IEP. As an IEP team member, you can ask that your child’s IEP be reviewed and
revised, if needed.
Why might I ask for a review of my child’s IEP?
Some reasons for requesting an IEP review include:
• Your child has met one, or several, of the goals written in the IEP.
• Your child does not seem to be making enough progress toward one, or several, of the
goals written in the IEP.
• You feel your child needs more services or other services in order to make progress.
• You feel that your child no longer needs a service he or she is currently receiving.
• Your child has experienced a major change, such as illness, injury, or surgery.
• You feel that the supports and services written in the IEP aren’t being provided.
