You've sat in that meeting.
You know the one.
Five specialists. One parent. One meeting that determines your child's year.
The School Has Specialists. You Have a PDF and a Meeting to Prepare For.
They're flipping through pages and you're nodding like you follow.
That team has done this hundreds of times. You have a document you didn't write, full of terms you've never heard, and a meeting on the calendar.
You've Googled at midnight. You've asked in Facebook groups. And you've still sat down across from five specialists wondering if you're the only one in that room who doesn't know what's going on.

Emma Rivera
Maple Elementary · IEP dated 2025-10-16 · Prepared Mar 12, 2026
Priority Issues: Start Here
Emma's reading baseline says "below grade level" but doesn't cite a standardized score. Can you provide her most recent DRA, Fountas & Pinnell, or DIBELS level so we can measure progress accurately?
The IEP lists 4 accommodations, but Emma's evaluation recommended visual schedules, text-to-speech, and extended time. None of which appear. Can we add these?
Speech-language services are listed at 30 min/week. What specific skills will be targeted, and how will progress be reported to us?

The Full Picture
Your Child, Seen in Five Dimensions.
That meeting guide, those chat answers, those email drafts — they all come from the same place. IEP Says reads your child's full plan and reorganizes it around five dimensions of who they actually are: how they learn, communicate, feel, sense, and manage themselves. Legal sections become a human picture.
