This case study investigated parental perceptions of students with autism towards the IEP meeting from one family support group chapter in the north Texas area. Participants were asked to share their experiences of previous IEP meetings and to provide input regarding not only measures that school districts may take towards improving IEP meetings, but actions that parents can take to serve as better advocates for their children. Findings revealed that parents believed that educators did not value parents as equals, properly adhere to IEP objectives to facilitate student success, and routinely train families regarding special education law. Findings should not be generalized across the entire population of students receiving special education services. Further investigation into parental perceptions among different disability categories, school districts, regions, and other family support groups are suggested.
