IEP Bootcamp

You’re invited to sign up for the Parent Alliance’s IEP Bootcamp! It doesn’t matter if you’re considering asking for an IEP for your child or if you’ve been to more meetings than you can count, you’ll learn something new.


Each morning, for 21 days, you’ll receive information and tips about one section of the IEP to help create a plan day by day for reviewing, evaluating and improving your child’s IEP. With a special focus on their behavior and emotional needs you’ll be well prepared for every meeting.
