Stop Hoping for a Better IEP. Learn How to Fight for One.
Each year, parents of more than eight million children enter IEP meetings determined to secure the special education their child needs. Too often, they leave feeling frustrated, intimidated, dismissed, or ignored.
Winning the IEP Game changes that.
It explains what school districts are legally required to do, reveals what really happens inside many IEP meetings, and gives parents, advocates, and attorneys practical strategies for closing the gap between promises and results.
Drawing on more than 25 years of advocacy and litigation experience, Dr. Robert Closson, Ed.D., has participated in and analyzed more than 2,200 IEP meetings. He identifies the tactics that work, the approaches that fail, and the strategies that turn parental concerns into meaningful action.
Inside Winning the IEP Game, you will learn how to:
- Recognize a Zombie IEP
- Challenge vague, inadequate, and ineffective IEP provisions
- Cut through delays, excuses, and procedural roadblocks
- Ask questions that demand clear answers
- Recognize district tactics before they derail the process
- Turn parental concerns into specific, measurable demands
- Build a written record that creates accountability
- Advocate with knowledge, confidence, and strategy
When the district delays, your child waits. Every month lost can mean educational opportunities that may never be recovered. Parents should not enter an IEP meeting hoping someone will do the right thing.
They should enter the meeting prepared.
