How do I request an IEP meeting?

Contact your child’s case manager:

• You do not have to wait for the annual IEP meeting if you are concerned about problems with your child’s current IEP, want to make revisions, or feel that a new unanswered educational issue has arisen for your child.
• When making a request for an IEP meeting, it MUST be done in writing.
• You may send an email or certified letter to the child’s case manager. You may also send copies of the letter or email to other relevant team members, such as the school psychologist, teacher, and principal. (When sending emails, you may want to cc the IEP team members and request a “read receipt” so you know when it’s been opened.)
• For two templates you can use to write your request, see our article How to Request an IEP Meeting.
