Questions parents ask
Who is The IEP Journey for?
Parents and caregivers in the U.S. who are new to special education: your child was just referred for an evaluation, you have a first IEP meeting coming up, or you received an IEP and want to understand it.
Is this legal advice?
No. The IEP Journey is general education about how the special education process works. For advice about your child's situation, contact your state's Parent Training and Information Center, a qualified advocate or a special education attorney.
Does it cover my state?
The lessons explain the federal law (IDEA) that applies in every state, and clearly mark the parts that vary. Each member gets a directory of official resources for all 50 states and DC so you can check your own state's rules.
Do I need to share my child's IEP or records?
No, and please don't. We never ask for real student records. All examples use fictional students and schools.
Are there live calls or coaching?
No. The membership is fully self-paced so you can learn whenever you have time, including late at night.
How long does it take?
Lessons are short. Most parents can work through a module in one or two sittings and come back to the tools before each meeting.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Memberships can be cancelled anytime. Full terms will be posted before enrollment opens.
Is the free guide really free?
Yes. Join the list and we'll email it to you as soon as it's ready. You'll also get a few short emails explaining the evaluation process, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
