Ready in about 5 minutes — most parents finish before their coffee gets cold.

The meeting isn't a fair fight. Let's fix that before you walk in.

Parents usually walk in outnumbered by a room full of staff who do this every week. You get one shot to prepare — make it count.

Everything you need before the meeting — built from your document

Not generic advice from a forum. Specific to the plan your child actually has.

Understand your own document

FAPE, LRE, PLAAFP, baseline data — every section of your child's IEP or 504 plan translated into plain English, organized exactly the way your document is.

Catch what's easy to miss

Vague goals, missing baselines, services quietly reduced without explanation — each red flag comes with the exact line from your document and why it matters.

Walk in prepared, leave with proof

Get questions tailored to your document, a one-page printable agenda grouped by topic, and a post-meeting checklist that confirms verbal promises actually land in writing.

How it works

Three steps between you and a plan for that meeting.

  1. 1

    Upload your document

    Create a free account and upload your child's current IEP, 504 plan, or evaluation report — PDF, a clear photo, or pasted text. Takes about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Get your report ~5 min

    A plain-English summary, a red-flag list quoting your own document, and questions built specifically for your child's plan.

  3. 3

    Walk in prepared, follow up after

    Print your one-page agenda, bring it to the table, and use your post-meeting checklist to confirm everything agreed to shows up in writing.

Exactly what you'll get — no surprises

One upload turns into everything you need for the next two weeks.

✓

A plain-English summary broken down section by section, matching your document's structure.

✓

A red-flag list — each one quoting your document and explaining, in plain terms, why it matters.

✓

5+ tailored questions to ask, built from your child's specific plan — not a generic list.

✓

A one-page printable meeting agenda, grouped by topic, with your child's name and meeting date.

✓

A post-meeting checklist to confirm verbal agreements actually make it into the final written plan.

✓

Delete the original file anytime — your report and insights stay available either way.

Questions parents ask us

Is my child's information safe?

Your document is used only to generate your report. You can permanently delete the original file at any time from your account — we never sell or share your child's records.

My meeting is soon — will I actually have time for this?

Yes. iepally is built for exactly this: most parents upload their document and get a full report within about 5 minutes, then print the agenda the same day. If your meeting is 1–3 weeks out, you have time. If it's tomorrow, you still have time.

Is this legal advice?

No. iepally helps you understand your child's document and prepare for the meeting — it is not legal advice and does not replace a special education attorney or certified advocate. For disputes or due process, consult a licensed attorney.

How is this different from a Facebook group or ChatGPT?

Those give you generic advice. iepally reads your child's actual document and generates a report specific to it — the exact goals, services, and language in your plan, not a template that could apply to anyone.

What file types can I upload?

PDF works best. You can also upload clear photos of printed pages or paste the text directly — either way, we extract and analyze the content automatically.

Is iepally really free right now?

Yes. We're in free beta while we build alongside real parents — no credit card required to upload a document or get your report.

Does this work for 504 plans too, not just IEPs?

Yes. Upload either an IEP or a 504 plan and we'll tailor the plain-English breakdown and red flags to that plan type.
