Colorado schools are undergoing a significant shift in how they support students with disabilities, particularly when it comes to enforcing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). These legally binding plans are designed to ensure students receive the services and accommodations they need, but enforcement has historically been inconsistent. Recent policy changes aim to close those gaps by increasing accountability, transparency, and parent involvement. For families navigating special education, these updates could mean more reliable support and fewer barriers. Understanding what’s changing—and what it means in practice—can help parents, educators, and advocates make informed decisions.
