The school has done this a thousand times. You have done it twice.
Tools for parents of the 7.5 million students on an IEP or a 504 plan. Check what the document is missing, work out the deadline the school has to meet, and write the letter that gets an answer — with the rule it comes from attached.

Free, with no account
Advocates cost $100–200 an hour and most families cannot use one. Nothing here is behind a signup, a trial, or a premium tier.
It points you at real people
Every state has a federally funded parent center that will read your IEP with you at no cost. This site exists to get you ready for that conversation, not to replace it.
Before you use any of this, know that free human help exists
Every state has at least one Parent Training and Information Center, funded by the US Department of Education, staffed largely by parents who have been through the process themselves. They will read your child’s IEP with you, come to a meeting, and answer questions — at no cost. Most families never find out they exist.
Your state’s parent center
Free, federally funded, and staffed largely by parents who have been through this. They will read your IEP with you at no charge.
