Free IEP and 504 tools for parents

Check what your child's IEP is missing, work out the deadline the school has to meet, and write the letter that gets an answer — with the regulation it comes from attached. Nothing is uploaded and there is no signup.

The document

• IEP check — See which legally required pieces your IEP is missing
• Goal check — Test whether an IEP goal is actually measurable
• Accommodation finder — Build a list of supports to ask for, by what your child struggles with
• Progress tracker (coming soon) — Chart reported progress against the goal, term by term

Deadlines & rights

• Deadline calculator — Work out the date the school has to meet, in your state
• Know your rights — The rights families most often are not told they have
• IEP or 504? — Work out which one fits, and what you give up either way

Letters & requests

• Letter builder — Write the request in writing, with the right rule cited
• Prior notice check (coming soon) — See whether the notice you were sent contains what it must

Meetings & disagreements

• Meeting prep — A one-page agenda and the questions that get real answers
• When you disagree — Find the right route: informal, mediation, complaint or hearing

Dangon Help is information about what the special education regulations say. It is not legal advice. Every state has a free, federally funded parent center that will read your IEP with you — find yours at parentcenterhub.org.
