Have your California IEP checked against the rules California sets, free.
California’s layer over IDEA is Part 30 of the Education Code, sections 56000 to 56865, worked locally by each SELPA under the Special Education Division. Upload your child’s IEP for a detailed review of the concerns, evidence and questions to bring to the school.
In California, the California Department of Education, Special Education Division oversees those rules.

How your IEP is reviewed
Start with your child’s IEP.
Add evaluations and progress reports if you have them. The review reads every page you upload.
See the concern. Check the evidence.
Each finding comes with the wording behind it and the page it came from. If a detail cannot be confirmed, your review says so.
Know what matters. Know what to ask.
Every concern is explained, with why it matters and a question to bring to the school. The review contacts no one; it stays in your account.
The review is automated. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace an advocate or attorney.
