Anyone who’s ever had to write an IEP knows how overwhelming it can feel. You’re trying to cover goals, supports, legal requirements, and still make it meaningful for the student. It’s a lot to juggle, and honestly, it’s easy to fall into the same mistakes over and over again. Sometimes it feels like you’re writing more for the paperwork than the child, which isn’t how it should be.
That’s why we pulled together these resources. Below, you can access the PDF downloads for our September 22, 2025 webinar with Stephanie DeLussey, author of The Intentional IEP.
But that’s not it, there are other elements that we want you to know about Stephanie and NASET webinars, and we’ll include all that in this page.

What You Get
You’re not just getting a random handout. These downloads are designed to be useful the moment you open them. Here’s what’s included:
- Full Handout (PDF): This is a very valuable resource. It outlines the most common IEP mistakes (like writing goals that are too broad or skipping key details), then gives you straightforward solutions. It has practical examples you can adapt to your own students.
- Notes Page (PDF): Think of it as your personal scratch pad for IEP planning. It’s laid out so you can quickly note mistakes you’ve spotted, add next steps you want to try, and keep reminders all in one place. Teachers who’ve used it say it helps them stay organized and less scattered during their next IEP meeting.
Both files are free to download, easy to print, and don’t take long to go through. You can start using them the same day you grab them.
Why These IEP Freebies Matter
Time is always short, and when you’re dealing with IEPs, it feels like the paperwork never ends. That’s exactly why these downloads exist. We’re publishing them to make the process smoother and help you avoid the same mistakes that eat up your time later.
Instead of sitting through another training that sounds good in theory but doesn’t translate into your daily work, you’re getting tools you can actually put to use.
The biggest difference is that these aren’t just checklists to read once and forget. They’re designed to be “grab and go” resources that you can reuse. Keep the notes page on your desk, pull out the handout before your next meeting, and you’ll have a quick reminder of what to avoid and what to aim for. It will quickly become your cheat sheet for better IEP writing (except it’s free).
