California gives parents real options when services are reduced. Here’s what they look like.
California families have specific rights when a school reduces IEP services. Schools must follow a process before making changes, and parents have real options, including requesting another meeting, filing a complaint, or pursuing a hearing. In California, a formal complaint filed with your school district is a documented right.

How we’ll work through what happened at that meeting
Access Navigator helps you understand what your child’s IEP should include based on their needs, what the school is required to provide, and what steps you can take when services are reduced without adequate justification. It walks you through the process in plain language.
You can upload your child’s current IEP or the school’s written offer during the conversation. The tool will help you understand what it says and identify what questions to bring to your next meeting.
