Have your Massachusetts IEP checked against the rules Massachusetts sets, free.
Chapter 71B of the General Laws and the regulations at 603 CMR 28.00 carry IDEA into Massachusetts practice under DESE. Upload your child’s IEP for a detailed review of the concerns, evidence and questions to bring to the school.
In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education 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.
What Massachusetts requires
The change a parent feels most is the answer: a proposed IEP may be accepted or rejected in part, and accepted parts start at once.
