About the Program

IEP meetings can be complex and confusing. AnswersNow BCBAs can help you prepare strategically.

Our affordable school support & IEP prep program is designed to give you the clinical data, preparation, and professional guidance to share that expertise effectively, so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

How it Works

Structured support at every step.

Plan and document review

What to expect: Your BCBA reviews your child's current IEP, 504 plan, Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), or school Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and compares it with your child's ABA therapy goals.

Caregiver strategy sessions

What to expect: In 1:1 sessions, your BCBA reviews your rights under IDEA and practices the meeting with you, focusing on measurable accommodations, data tracking, and communication strategies.

Bring a BCBA with you to your meeting

What to expect: At your request, your BCBA can join the meeting virtually to present your child's behavioral data and collaborate with teachers on strategies that carry over into the classroom.
