The three gaps we look for
Did it make it in?
An evaluation recommended something, and it never made it into the IEP.
Did it happen?
It’s in the IEP, but your child didn’t actually get it, or didn’t get it as often as promised.
Is it working?
Your child is getting everything on the IEP and is still struggling.
What you’ll get
- An 8-page worksheet with a fill-in page for each gap, examples to show you how, and red flags to watch for.
- Two logs: a school contact log for every call, email, and pickup conversation, and a daily school experience log for what the school doesn’t see.
- A School Experience Log spreadsheet if you’d rather type than print.
- What to do when you find a gap, in four steps.
We’re Danielle and Casey, two moms who’ve spent years in IEP meetings, evaluations, and paperwork for our own kids. We made this for the parent sitting at the kitchen table with a stack of papers, wondering what they’re missing.
Raising Different Together provides parent support, document organization, and educational advocacy preparation. We’re not attorneys, and this worksheet isn’t legal advice.
