IEP Inbox: “Do I really need to put everything in writing?”

“Do I really need to write that down?”
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s overkill to follow up with an email—this episode is for you.

In this quick IEP Inbox episode, Monica explains:

• Why writing things down helps protect your child’s rights

• What kinds of requests should always be in writing

• How to phrase things clearly (without sounding confrontational)

• Why email beats verbal conversations—especially when timelines matter

💡 Field Note: Don’t wait for the school to put it in writing—do it yourself.
