Step 8: Your Child's Progress is Measured Over Time

Step 8: Your Child's Progress is Measured Over Time. The IEP should be reviewed yearly. You can have more than one IEP meeting a year, but the districts cannot have less than one meeting in which the team would go over goals and services. This is a good time to determine if your child is meeting the current goals on the IEP and make any additional changes as needed. We suggest that you, the parent, request quarterly meetings with your team to ensure that progress is being met.
