IEP Revisions, Classification & Placement Changes
Sometimes an existing plan just isn't working anymore. Maybe your child's programming hasn't kept pace with their needs, their disability classification no longer fits, or their current placement is too restrictive - or not supportive enough. We help you build the case for change and advocate for a plan that actually reflects your child today.
Revision of Programming & Services
Change of Placement Advocacy
● Who it's for: Parents who feel their child's current programming or placement isn't meeting their academic or behavioral needs.
● What's included: Review of your child's data and current IEP, written and verbal communication with the school team, collaboration to build an appropriate plan, virtual attendance at two meetings, and final review of the draft IEP and Prior Written Notice.
● Who it's for: Families who believe their child's current disability classification is inaccurate or no longer reflects their needs.
● What's included: Review of current data and programming, incorporation of any third-party evaluations you'd like to present, collaboration on a new and appropriate plan, and virtual attendance at two meetings, including a follow-up to confirm implementation.
Change of Classification
● Who it's for: Parents who feel their child's current placement is either too restrictive or doesn't provide enough support.
● What's included: The same comprehensive review, third-party evaluation support, and two-meeting virtual attendance as our classification change package, focused specifically on securing an appropriate placement.
● Grades or progress reports don't reflect real understanding or growth
● Your child is increasingly anxious, avoidant, or frustrated about school
● Services listed in the IEP aren't being delivered as written
● The current classification doesn't match new evaluation results
● You've raised concerns with the school team without meaningful movement
