My IEP Meeting

Certain people will help write your IEP.  Some are required by law to come to the meeting.  Others, such as you and your parents, must be invited to take part in the meeting.  It’s your choice to attend or not.

All of the people listed below work together as a team to write your IEP.  So who might you see at your IEP meeting?

  • You
  • Your parents
  • At least one of your general education teachers (for example, your P.E. teacher or your elective teacher)
  • At least one of your special education teachers
  • Someone from your school who knows about special education services and who can talk about what resources your school has this person (such as your principal, your assistant principal, or your counselor).
  • People from transition service agencies, if you’re going to be talking about what you plan to do after leaving high school and what you need to do now to get ready
  • Someone who can talk about your evaluation results and what they mean, especially what kind of teaching you need.
  • Other people who know you your strengths and needs very well and who can help you plan your educational program.
