TEXAS REVIEW FRAMEWORK

Built around the way Texas educators review IEP documentation.

IEP Verify uses a Texas-focused review framework to compare IEP documentation against the available evidence and identify meaningful gaps, alignment concerns, and areas that may require educator attention.

Texas
TEXAS-FOCUSED REVIEW

Evidence before assumptions.

The framework is designed to evaluate whether IEP documentation is materially supported by the records provided for review.

✓Evidence readiness
✓Documentation alignment
✓Material gaps and conflicts
✓Clear next steps
WHAT THE FRAMEWORK REVIEWS

Two questions drive every audit.

IEP Verify separates the quality of the evidence package from the alignment of the IEP documentation itself.

01

Is the evidence ready?

IEP Verify reviews whether the available supporting information is sufficient to meaningfully evaluate the IEP documentation.

  • Teacher input
  • Parent input when available or expected
  • Student input when available or expected
  • Evaluation and case information
  • Other supporting evidence provided for review
02

Does the documentation align?

IEP Verify evaluates whether the major IEP sections materially reflect and align with the evidence supplied for the review.

  • Needs reflected in the PLAAFP
  • Vision and goals connected to documented needs
  • Accommodations tied to supporting evidence
  • Services reflected in the documentation
  • Recommended TEKS aligned to the documented instructional need
REVIEW PRINCIPLES

Focused on meaningful alignment, not paperwork perfection.

The framework is designed to distinguish material documentation concerns from optional opportunities to add more detail.

✓

Evidence-Based

Findings are grounded in the records provided for the review rather than assumptions about the student.

✓

Material Alignment

The review focuses on whether the documentation meaningfully reflects documented student needs, supports, and educational decisions.

✓

Section-to-Section Consistency

IEP Verify looks for meaningful connections across the PLAAFP, vision, goals, accommodations, services, and recommended instruction.

✓

Conflicts and Omissions

The framework identifies unsupported statements, conflicting information, missing evidence, and material needs that appear to have been omitted.

✓

Professional Judgment

Audit findings are designed to help qualified educators focus their review. They do not replace professional decision-making.

✓

Clear Next Steps

When an area needs attention, the audit explains why it matters and what should be reviewed before finalizing the documentation.

DOCUMENT REVIEW

Review the IEP as a connected record.

Each section is evaluated individually while also considering how it connects to the broader evidence and IEP.

✓PLAAFP

Does the present-level documentation materially reflect the student needs shown in the available evidence?

✓Vision

Does the vision reflect the documented priorities and direction for the student?

✓Goals

Are goals connected to documented needs and supported by the information provided?

✓Accommodations

Are accommodations supported by documented student needs and consistent with the evidence?

✓Services

Are documented services reasonably connected to the needs and supports reflected in the record?

✓Recommended TEKS

Are recommended instructional standards connected to documented needs, goals, and instructional priorities?

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

A review tool — not a compliance certification.

IEP Verify supports professional documentation review. It does not determine legal compliance, replace an ARD committee or qualified educator, or verify that documented services, accommodations, or supports were implemented.

The framework is designed with reference to Texas Education Agency guidance and Texas special education documentation practices. IEP Verify is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Texas Education Agency.
