Question:

How do I request an IEP meeting for my child?

Answer:

To initiate an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting for your child in Maryland, the school must provide you with written notice if they propose or refuse to initiate or change the IEP or behavior intervention plan. The IEP team must obtain your written consent if they plan to include restraint or seclusion in the behavior intervention plan or IEP to address your child’s behavior. If you believe your child’s rights under the IEP have been violated, you can file a formal complaint with the Maryland State Department of Education.
