There’s a lot to keep track of when your child has an IEP or 504 plan—goals, services, accommodations, meeting notes, and what’s actually happening day to day. These simple, parent-friendly trackers help you see what’s in place, what’s working, and what to ask for next—without becoming a full-time case manager.
Accommodation or Support Tracker
Accommodation or Support | In IEP? | Being Used? | Working? | Notes | |
Noise-reducing headphones during independent work | Yes | In ELA, not in Math | Partly | Teacher reports improved focus in ELA; student distracted in Math—request consistent use across classes | |

How to use the trackers (step-by-step)
Print or copy to your favorite app. Keep a binder or a single cloud folder labeled “IEP – [Student Name].”
Fill in current info. Enter each accommodation and each active goal. If you don’t have the latest documents, request them in writing.
Pick a cadence. Update notes every 2–4 weeks (or when you notice something off).
Look for patterns. Are accommodations listed but not used? Are goals not progressing? Note specific examples.
Email the team (brief + factual). Share one or two concrete observations and ask for a quick check-in or progress data.
Bring the trackers to meetings. They help you ask targeted questions and request specific changes.
