Should I send a letter of parent concerns before an IEP?
Published: Mar. 9, 2022Updated: Apr. 17, 2026
As a parent, you are an integral part of your child’s IEP planning and decision-making team. One way to make sure your input and suggestions are part of your child’s file is by drafting a parental concerns letter that helps clarify what you would like to see addressed at an IEP meeting. This is a chance to share information that only you know about your child.
