The IEP Binder Printables (Free Printable)
What are the IEP Binder Printables?
An IEP binder is a single place to keep every evaluation, plan, progress report and piece of correspondence in one order, so you can find what you need in the middle of a meeting instead of digging through email. This set gives you six tab dividers and a one-page cover sheet, with a short description of what goes behind each tab.
How to use it
Print the six divider pages and the cover sheet, add them to a 3-ring binder with tab dividers and file the newest document on top within each section as it arrives. You don't need every tab full on day one. Start with what you already have and add sections as your child's file grows.
