Introducing KidvoKit’s Free IEP Converter for the New Massachusetts IEP Form

9 Sep 2024

As the new school year approaches, Massachusetts is rolling out a brand-new IEP form. Many parents may be wondering how these changes will impact their child’s education plan. At KidvoKit, we understand that navigating these transitions can be confusing, which is why we’ve developed a free tool designed to make the process smoother for families.

What Is the IEP Converter?

KidvoKit’s IEP converter is a simple, yet powerful tool that allows parents to take their child’s current Massachusetts IEP and instantly convert it into the new format being adopted by Massachusetts this school year. This converter gives parents a clear view of how their existing IEP will appear in the new form, helping to demystify any changes and ensuring that families are well-prepared for upcoming IEP meetings.

Why Is This Important?

Understanding the new IEP form is crucial for effective communication with your child’s educational team. By using the converter, parents can:

  • See the New Format: Get a firsthand look at how the new IEP form is structured by seeing their current IEP transformed into the updated format. This should help you focus your IEP meeting on your child, not on decoding the new form.
  • Prepare for Meetings: Being familiar with the new format can help you ask informed questions and ensure your child’s needs are fully addressed in upcoming IEP discussions. For example, seeing your child’s data in the form may highlight where new or expanded information will be needed.
  • Compare and Contrast: The converter also makes it easier to compare your child’s next IEP to their previous one, by having them both in the same format.

How to Use the IEP Converter

The IEP converter is available for free on the KidvoKit platform. Simply upload your child’s current IEP, and the converter will automatically generate an IEP sample in the new Massachusetts format. This process is quick, secure, and designed to give you the confidence and clarity you need as you approach the new school year. 

The MA IEP converter is a great complement to the training sessions offered in many districts and from parent advocacy groups. Not heard much about the new IEP form yet? Check out one parent’s take on the IEP form changes
