PROMPT

Prepare me for an IEP/504 meeting. Ask for student profile, concerns, and school context. Output: one-page summary, question list, support requests, and follow-up email draft.

How It Works

Structures your prep so the meeting focuses on needs, goals, services, and measurable supports.

Triggers

  1. Upcoming IEP/504 meeting
  2. Parent feels intimidated or disorganized
  3. Student needs aren't being met consistently

Steps

  1. Summarize concerns and impact (academics, behavior, functioning).
  2. Compile evidence: reports, emails, work samples, logs.
  3. Define priorities (top 3 needs) and proposed supports.
  4. Draft meeting agenda questions and requests.
  5. Draft follow-up / recap email and next-step deadlines.

Constraints & Edge Cases

  • Laws vary by location; this tool supports organization, not legal advice.
  • Complex disputes may require professional advocacy.

Expected Outcomes

  • Clearer meeting outcomes
  • Better documentation trail
