The IEP can look complete and still fail your child.
A student can have an IEP and still lack the right specialized writing instruction or occupational therapy support when appropriate, accommodations, or progress monitoring for idea generation, handwriting, spelling, organization, typing, and written output.
The free audit checks the language in the actual IEP against the student's documented needs so you can stop guessing and focus on the issues that matter most.
The audit checks the entire IEP, not just this concern.
It does not stop at one concern or a short checklist. Upload the document and the audit reviews every major IEP section for missing supports, weak language, compliance problems, and anything that could make the plan harder to enforce.
Evaluations and Present Levels
Whether the IEP accurately describes the student's needs, strengths, baseline data, and current performance.
Goals and Progress Monitoring
Whether goals are measurable, tied to documented needs, and supported by clear progress-reporting methods.
Services and Accommodations
Whether supports are individualized, specific enough to enforce, and clear about provider, frequency, duration, and setting.
Placement and Access
Whether the plan addresses classroom access, least restrictive environment, behavior, communication, and related-service needs.
Parent Concerns and Team Decisions
Whether parent input, school refusals, Prior Written Notice, and important meeting decisions are documented clearly.
Federal and State Compliance
Whether the document raises IDEA compliance concerns, missed timelines, vague commitments, or other procedural red flags.
Additional issues the audit checks for this review
Along with the full IEP review above, the audit pays special attention to these issues that may be relevant to this concern. These are examples of extra scrutiny, not the limits of the audit.
Do present levels include recent data for writing samples, rubrics, spelling data, fine-motor notes, and classroom output comparisons?
Does the IEP provide specialized writing instruction or occupational therapy support when appropriate or a clear explanation of why it is not needed?
Are accommodations such as speech-to-text, graphic organizers, reduced copying, keyboarding, and alternate response formats written clearly enough to implement?
Do annual goals name a baseline, target, measurement method, and reporting schedule?
Do progress reports show what changed when the student did not make expected growth?
Get the answer from your actual IEP.
You do not need to compare every page to a checklist. Upload the document and let the audit identify the gaps, red flags, and next steps for you.

Reasons parents run this audit
If any of these sound familiar, the written IEP deserves a closer look.
The IEP sounds reassuring, but it does not name who will do what, how often, or how progress will be measured.
Ask the team to rewrite the section with the provider, frequency, duration, setting, baseline, target, and measurement method.
The school says a support is already happening, but it is not written into the IEP.
Ask for the support to be added to the IEP so it is enforceable and follows the student across teachers and school years.
Progress reports show little growth, but the proposed IEP keeps the same plan.
Ask what data shows the current plan is sufficient, what will change, and how the team will measure whether the new approach works.
Stop trying to decode the IEP alone.
Upload the document. The audit will show you what is weak, what is missing, and what deserves attention first.
