How we configure Massachusetts
Evaluation clock
Evaluation assessments must be completed within 30 school working days after receipt of parental consent. (603 CMR 28.05(1)).
Initial IEP meeting
Within 45 school working days of consent the district must convene the Team, determine eligibility and provide the proposed IEP, with 15 more days for an initial out-of-district placement. (603 CMR 28.05(1); 603 CMR 28.06(2)(e)).
Goal alignment
SMART goals aligned to Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, plus functional and adaptive domains.
IEP system & forms
No single statewide IEP platform; districts use vendor systems to complete the DESE-prescribed IEP form.
Transition planning
Transition components flagged for review by age 14, supporting Indicator 13.

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.
