Got IEP Questions?

I'm hosting a free webinar TOMORROW all about turning IEPs from "Paperwork to Purpose."

This is a topic I love to discuss because when the IEP is in good shape, it's your BEST advocacy tool. But when it's full of fluffy words or a flub when it comes to actually meeting your child's needs, it can become a barrier.

If you have questions about IEPs, comment below and let me know.

I'll do my best to answer as many questions as I can during the live session (recorded for you to watch later).

If you haven't signed up yet, there's still time! Here's the link to register: https://jennscharf.com/free-resources/webinars/

Ready to take your child's IEP from paperwork to a purpose-driven tool?

Whether you've got an IEP filled with fluff, one focused on compliance rather than your child, or a solid plan that just sits in a filing cabinet, you’re not alone.

Your goal is to have a "Fit" IEP that is current, actionable, and truly serves the needs of your child. It’s the most powerful advocacy tool you have.

Join me on September 10, 2025 for The IEP: From Paperwork to Purpose, a free webinar from 6:30-7:30 pm PST.

I'll walk you through how to use the BC competency-based IEP framework to create a truly useful document that reflects your child.
