On a side note, if you are a parent of a child with disabilities and are unsure of your rights, Wrights Law is a great resource. I feel it is important to explain to you why you should use these IEP binder printables. This page has a little more information than I traditionally include with my free printables.

It will keep you better organized to only have IEP and special education information in the IEP binder rather than anything family-related. Keep your IEP binder separate from your other school information sheets. One way I knew I could help would be through creating a few printables for you to create your own IEP binder. It’s what has made me want to make sure parents of children with disabilities have the knowledge they need to advocate for themselves.

One thing I learned as a teacher, is how important it is for parents of children with an IEP to stay on top of things. Once I decided to stay home, I realized that maintaining a teacher blog while I was no longer teaching wouldn’t be the best choice. I actually started my first blog, Bed Rested Teacher, when I was on bed rest (hence the name). In a former life, I was a special education teacher. An IEP Binder used to be part of my everyday life.
