When parents discover that a school has not followed their child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), the situation can feel overwhelming. An IEP is a legally binding document designed to ensure eligible students with disabilities receive the services and accommodations they need to succeed. An IEP violation can happen when required services are skipped, accommodations are ignored, or agreed-upon supports are not provided consistently. Knowing what to do next can help protect your child’s education while keeping the focus on finding practical solutions rather than escalating conflict unnecessarily.
