The IEP accommodation isn’t being followed: what to do first.
“I don’t think it’s happening” is hard to act on. A dated log of where, when and what you observed, plus one question per setting, is impossible to ignore. Politely.
What this meeting is really about
Accommodations fade for ordinary reasons: a substitute didn’t get the list, the scaffolds faded without a decision, the tool is “available” but never prompted, the workload outgrew the support. Ordinary causes still deserve a fix, but they respond better to collaborative specificity than to accusation. This path prepares you to bring specifics, ask who can clarify each setting and leave with an implementation plan rather than a promise.
The intake asks which accommodations are involved (presentation, response, setting, organization, pick from common ones), where they should be happening, what you’ve observed and which roles will attend. The output centers on the implementation log and setting-specific questions.
Questions this path prepares you to ask
How is [accommodation] implemented day to day. By whom, in which settings and how is it recorded?
What happens on the days it doesn’t happen? Who notices, and what’s the catch-up path?
Which of these accommodations are hard to fit into the classroom schedule? I’d rather solve that than not know.
Could we agree on a simple weekly note for a month, so we can see patterns instead of trading impressions?
Who is the one person I should check with if it seems to slip again?
What the $49 Case File adds for this path
- Accommodation Implementation Log: one printed row per accommodation and setting: where it should happen, what you observed, who can clarify, the follow-up question. Blank rows for after the meeting.
- Evidence Map: your dated observations connected to the documents that support them.
- Role-specific questions: including the general education teacher’s honest-workload questions that get real answers.
- Post-meeting tools: the tracker seeds “confirm the plan in writing,” “log for two weeks,” and “check in with the classroom teacher.”
