The Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC) offers an
Individualized Education Program (IEP) Checklist iPhone app. School-aged students
with disabilities are provided an Individualized Education Program designed
to support their unique educational needs. The IEP Checklist App helps
parents of students with special needs become better-informed advocates by
making IEP information easier to access. The newest version of the app has
active links to the relevant language in the federal regulations; allows users
to record the IEP meeting or record notes; and has the capacity to print out
notes and click on a checklist as requested items are discussed. Learn
more about this free app _here_.
