Negotiating Principles from the book "Never Split the Difference" for IEP Meetings

Mastering IEP Meetings: Negotiation Skills from Never Split the Difference  

IEP meetings are meant to bring together the child’s educational team—parents, teachers, specialists, and sometimes the student—to discuss and develop the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). This meeting should be a collaborative space to review the child’s progress, identify unique learning needs, set specific goals, and outline the accommodations, modifications, and services that will support their learning. IEP meetings help everyone involved create a clear, updated plan and share a common understanding of how to best support the child’s success in school.

Unfortunately, many parents leave IEP meetings feeling as though they failed, frustrated, or upset that their voice wasn’t heard. But what if we looked at these meetings from a negotiation standpoint? While IEP Insiders does not promote the idea of parents "negotiating" for their child’s services or support, this approach might help parents confidently advocate for the services their children deserve. We believe parents may feel more empowered to push for the support that leads to meaningful progress.
