Can I Ask for More Explanation Before Agreeing to the IEP?

Yes. If you do not understand what the IEP says or what the team is proposing, it is reasonable to ask the team to explain it in plain language and show where the decision appears in the document.

You do not need to be adversarial to ask for clarity. A careful question can help the team document the decision more clearly and make sure you understand what will happen during the school day.
