What Schools Don’t Tell You About IEPs

The Truth About IEPs That Schools Don’t Share

Navigating the IEP (Individualized Education Plan) process can feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. The forms are filled with technical language, the meetings are overwhelming, and you want to be sure your child is getting the support they deserve. At Falcon Sky Advocacy Group, we believe every family deserves clear guidance and full transparency in this process.

Unfortunately, schools sometimes don't share the full picture. Here’s what you need to know about the IEP process and how we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What Should an IEP Be?

An IEP is a crucial tool to help your child succeed in school. When done right, it’s a personalized roadmap that outlines all the support your child needs, from accommodations to therapy services. But more often than we’d like to admit, IEPs fall short—they can be rushed, generic, or lack the detailed goals that meet your child's specific needs.

At Falcon Sky, we make sure your child’s IEP is fully tailored to their needs and sets them up for success.

Understanding Your Rights Under IDEA

You are your child’s strongest advocate. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), every child is entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). This means the school must provide the services and accommodations your child needs to succeed. Unfortunately, just because it's the law doesn’t always mean schools comply.

That’s where we come in. Falcon Sky ensures your child’s IEP is not only compliant with the law, but also fully customized to address your child's challenges.

Common Gaps in IEPs You Might Not Know About

It can be difficult for parents to spot when something’s missing from an IEP—especially when it comes to essential services like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or one-on-one aide support. We’re here to help you recognize red flags and guide you on how to advocate for the services your child needs.

It’s important to know what should be included and what to do if your child isn’t getting the right support.

Why Schools Sometimes Push Back on Changes

It’s frustrating when schools resist changes to your child’s IEP. Whether it's due to budget constraints or simply a misunderstanding of your child’s needs, it can feel like you’re hitting a wall. But don’t worry, Falcon Sky is here to help. We bridge the gap between what schools are willing to provide and what your child truly needs.
