Money
Do I have to pay for any of this?
Not for anything written on the IEP. That is the district's obligation, not a favor.
Evaluations, the services listed on the IEP, transportation when the IEP requires it, an interpreter — all free to you. Families routinely pay out of pocket for things they are already owed.
Do this week
- Write down every service you are paying for right now, and what each one costs you.
- For each one, check whether it appears in your child's IEP.
- For anything that is in the IEP, ask the IEP team in writing what the district provides and how.
