A Complete Set of IEP Advocacy Tools for One Low $17 Price to help you avoid costly, progress-delaying advocacy mistakes.
With the IEP Toolkit, you’ll have the forms, scripts, and checklists in front of you when you need them — instead of trying to piece things together at the last minute.
When my son was on a 504 plan, I felt like I was constantly reacting. Using the IEP Toolkit gave me a clear way to organize everything and document what was happening. With that structure in place, I was able to advocate for IEP testing and move the process forward. Having the right forms and checklists made it much easier to hold the school accountable and track his progress.
–Kim B, Mother of one with Learning Disability
Tired of hearing “Let’s wait and see”?
You’ve brought up concerns. You’ve asked questions. You’ve tried to suggest changes.
And yet… nothing really changes.
You’re not crazy for feeling frustrated.
Most parents aren’t missing effort — they’re missing documentation and the right wording.
That’s where this toolkit comes in.
It gives you the forms, scripts, and checklists to keep a clear paper trail and communicate your concerns without starting from scratch every time.
No big, complicated system---Just practical tools you can use when you need them.
"It felt so empowering to walk in with everything laid out and organized so well, as well as having notes written up and all the pertinent IEP information at my fingertips. Our team was pleased too!"
–Patty H., Mom of 2, one with disabilities transitioning to Middle School
Introducing The IEP Toolkit for Parents
A practical collection of forms, scripts, and checklists created by a Special Education Advocate and IEP parent.
Designed to help you document concerns, communicate clearly, and keep everything in one place — without turning this into a second job.
Lifetime Access: Use it whenever you need it.
"The IEP toolkit helped me to be on even footing with the IEP teams for both of my sons. It didn't just help me stay organized. I was able to review what was working and what wasn't, and it also let me plan for the future. An added bonus was that I looked professional when bringing it with me so my concerns were taken seriously."
–Mayra Z., Mom to two Autistic Children
More than a stack of printables.
These forms and scripts were built from real IEP meetings — not theory.
Use them to document concerns, send clearer emails, and keep your paper trail organized.
"Your parent concern letter templates were critical. After nearly two years of battling the NYC Department of Education, I was able to get my child into a state-approved private school — without attorney representation. I had worked with an attorney for two academic years, and not once was I advised to submit a parent concern letter for inclusion in the IEP. Having that template made all the difference."
–Erma P.

"As the mom of a child being evaluated for special education preschool, I had no idea what I was walking into. The toolkit helped me understand what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to document everything from the beginning. It made those early meetings feel far less overwhelming."
