Initial IEP meeting
The initial IEP meeting must be held within 30 calendar days of the determination that the child needs special education, with the IEP in effect promptly after. (05-071 C.M.R. ch. 101 (MUSER); 34 CFR § 300.323(c)(1)).

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.
