How we configure Colorado
Evaluation clock
60 calendar days from initiation of a written special education referral, which CDE measures from receipt of parental consent. (1 CCR 301-8, Rule 4.02).
Initial IEP meeting
A meeting to develop the initial IEP within 30 calendar days of the eligibility determination. (34 CFR § 300.323(c)(1)).
Goal alignment
SMART goals aligned to Colorado Academic Standards, plus functional and adaptive domains.
IEP system & forms
No single mandated statewide IEP platform; administrative units use vendor systems, and CDE publishes model IEP forms.
Transition planning
Transition components flagged for review by age 15, supporting Indicator 13.
Regulations loaded

TPA Ventures drafts; your team decides. Every goal, accommodation and notice is reviewed and finalized by certified staff and parents. TPA Ventures does not make eligibility or placement determinations and does not replace the IEP team required by 34 CFR § 300.321.
Cut IEP drafting time by 60% while strengthening legal defensibility.
