Planning an IEP can feel like a whirlwind—deadlines, data, collaboration, and student needs all rolled into one big meeting. In this episode, Caitlin and Audra walk through a practical timeline for IEP prep, from parent check-ins to drafting goals and reviewing behavior plans.
Whether you’re a teacher, BCBA, or case manager, this one’s packed with real-talk and ready-to-use tips to make your IEPs more effective and less stressful.
🔑 Key Takeaways
📅 Start early—draft a prep timeline 4–6 weeks in advance if possible
📬 Reach out to families before the meeting to check in on their priorities and updates
✏️ Don't blindly carry over goals—use progress data, probe skills, and adjust accordingly
🔄 Always review behavior plans—don’t let them autopilot year to year
🧑🎓 Involve students when appropriate—yes, even younger learners!
🗣️ Drafts are okay—just be clear it’s a starting point, not a final plan
💬 No surprises! Build trust with families by keeping communication open and collaborative
