What is the role of the parent(s) in an IEP meeting?

The parent needs to be prepared to discuss their concerns. These might include their child’s immediate and big-picture strengths, needs, and goals. If they do not agree with the child’s present levels or goals, or want to add additional service minutes, they should bring copies of progress reports and their own progress tracking to support their perspective.
