How to use these printables. Each one is a starting point to organize your own preparation and discuss with your child's IEP or 504 team, never a form the school is required to accept and not legal or educational advice.

The printables

IEP Meeting Checklist

The four-stage prep checklist, from a few weeks out through the follow-up, so nothing gets missed in a busy week.

IEP Binder Printables

Six tab dividers and a cover sheet to put every evaluation, plan, letter and progress report in one order.

Accommodations List (504 and IEP)

The common accommodation options grouped by type, to circle and bring to the team as a starting point.

Evaluation-Request Letter Template

A ready-to-adapt letter to request an evaluation in writing, with the dates that matter and the language to use.

504 Plan Request Letter Template

A ready-to-adapt letter asking your district to evaluate your child for a 504 plan, with the parts that matter spelled out.

504 Plan Template

The blank 504 plan, section by section, plus a completed example, so you can draft your part before the district writes its own form.

IEP Template

The anatomy of an IEP as a blank working draft, plus an annotated example that explains what every section is for.

IEP vs 504 Comparison Chart

Two pages: the eight differences between an IEP and a 504 plan side by side, then a neutral checklist of what to raise with the school.

Consent and Withhold-Consent Letter Templates

Three letters for the three consent decisions: giving it, withholding it and revoking it, each with the reasoning attached.

IEP Goal-Tracking Sheet

One page per goal to log the baseline, the target and every progress update, so you see a pattern across the year.

ADHD Accommodations List (504 and IEP)

The most common ADHD accommodation options grouped by type, to circle and bring to the team.

Autism Accommodations List (504 and IEP)

The most common autism accommodation options grouped by type, to circle and bring to the team.

Dyslexia Accommodations List (504 and IEP)

The most common dyslexia accommodation options grouped by type, to circle and bring to the team.

IEP and 504 Cheat Sheet

The key terms, your core rights and the federal deadlines on one plain-language sheet to keep on hand.

IEP Meeting Notes Template

Before, during and after the meeting, one page to keep your own record organized and comparable.

Prior Written Notice Response Letter Template

A letter to answer a prior written notice in writing, plus a checklist of what that notice is supposed to contain.

IEP First-Notice Letter

The first, least formal letter when something in the IEP is not happening, written to open a conversation rather than a case.

Home Observation Log

A simple log for what you see at home, so the pattern you describe at the meeting has dates and detail behind it.

Not sure which one to print first. If a meeting is coming up, start with the IEP meeting checklist. If the hard part is knowing what to ask for, take the accommodations list. If it is the vocabulary and the deadlines that keep slipping away, print the IEP and 504 cheat sheet.

Questions parents ask

Are these IEP printables really free?

Yes. Every printable here is a free PDF. Enter your email on the printable's page and we send the PDF, plus a note if the guidance on that topic changes. The whole library stays free to read.

What printables help me prepare for an IEP meeting?

The IEP template shows you what the document itself contains, so you can draft your input and read the draft the school sends. The meeting checklist and the meeting notes template keep you organized before, during and after. The binder set puts every document in order. The evaluation-request letter, the goal tracker, the cheat sheet and the accommodation lists cover the rest of the preparation, each a starting point to discuss with your child's team.

This page is general educational information for parents, not legal or educational advice. It does not tell any family what to do. Every example here is a starting point to discuss and adapt with your child's IEP or 504 team, which decides what fits your child from the evaluation. Confirm anything time-sensitive with your school or district. For a genuinely contested situation, a special education advocate or an attorney who works in your state is the right person to ask.
