Have your Montana IEP checked against the rules Montana sets, free.
ARM Title 10, chapter 16, written by the Superintendent of Public Instruction under the MCA, is Montana’s layer on IDEA. Upload your child’s IEP for a detailed review of the concerns, evidence and questions to bring to the school.
In Montana, the Montana Office of Public Instruction 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 Montana requires
Consent is the change: your signature is asked for at initial placement and every year after, with fifteen days’ notice if you go quiet.
