I had no idea I was making these mistakes—and I’ve been to so many IEP meetings. This guide was a wake-up call.

I used one of Genie’s examples to rewrite my email, and the school responded in 24 hours with a whole new service plan.

For $7, it saved me weeks of back and forth. Every parent should have this before they walk into a meeting.
