Summer: The Perfect Time for an IEP Check-Up
School may be out, but parents of children with disabilities rarely stop thinking about their child’s education. Summer is an ideal time to step back, review your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), and prepare for a successful school year ahead.
Why Schedule an IEP Check-Up This Summer?
The summer break is more than just a pause from school — it’s a chance to get ahead. An IEP Check-Up allows you to:
Review your child’s current IEP and evaluations with a fresh perspective
Identify potential problems or gaps in services before they impact your child
Develop a proactive plan for the fall, so you’re ready when school resumes
Address slow special education processes in advance, instead of waiting for September
With the right guidance, you can turn summer into an opportunity for preparation rather than anxiety.
How a Special Education Attorney Can Help
A Massachusetts special education attorney can:
Analyze your child’s IEP, progress reports, and evaluations
Spot issues you might have missed, such as inadequate services or missing accommodations
Advise you on next steps, whether that’s requesting updated evaluations, scheduling an IEP team meeting, or preparing for potential disputes
Taking action now means that when September comes, you’re already one step closer to a solution for your child.
