Description
This one-page IEP Goal Review & Meeting Checklist is designed to help families feel more confident, prepared, and heard in IEP meetings—without needing a special education degree to decode everything.
Instead of staring at a dense draft IEP wondering, “Is this actually a good goal?”, you’ll have a simple, step-by-step checklist to guide you through what to look for and what to ask. This printable PDF walks you through reviewing each goal in the draft IEP before the meeting, plus gives you prompts to use during and after the meeting to make sure the final plan truly supports your child’s real-life needs.
What this checklist helps you do
Using this one page, you’ll be able to:
-
Spot whether each IEP goal is clear, measurable, realistic, and functional
-
Notice red flags like vague wording (“improve,” “increase,” “better at…”)
-
Review the draft IEP before the meeting so you aren’t reacting on the spot
-
Go into the meeting with 3–5 priorities clearly in mind for your child
-
Use simple, respectful questions to ask for changes or clarification
-
Reflect after the meeting and track whether you’re seeing progress in real life, not just on paper
