Sample Letter to Request an IEP Meeting

Although an IEP team typically meets at least once a year, you may find you need to meet sooner. As a parent, you can call an IEP meeting at any time to discuss your child’s IEP and have a voice in it.

You can use this Google doc as a reference for your written request, or check out the example text below:

Dear Ms. Smith,

I am writing to request an IEP meeting to be held as soon as possible. I have a number of concerns that I would like the team to discuss, including:

• Speech services/progress
• Updating goals
• Home communication

Please arrange for the IEP team to meet. You can contact me at Kathy@memail.com or (310) 333-300I as needed.

Sincerely,
Kathy Jones
