The purpose of the IEP meeting is to develop the child’s Individualized Education Plan. You can prepare for this meeting the following information/data: list of the child’s strengths and weaknesses. – talk to teachers and/or therapists and get their thoughts about the child. – visit the child’s class and perhaps other classes that may be helpful to him or her. – talk to your child about his or her feelings toward school. – write down what you think your child can accomplish during the school year. It also helps to make notes about what you would like to say during the meeting.
