ND Parent Input Statement Template for IEPs | Neurodivergent-Affirming Advocacy Tool

A trauma-aware, neurodivergent-affirming parent input system for IEPs. Includes scripts, templates, and decision tools to document educational impact and secure services for ND kids.

You know your child.
But schools only respond to what gets written down.

When your child is struggling, you’re expected to:
• describe it clearly
• use professional language
• and stay calm

even when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and afraid of being dismissed.

The ND Parent Input System gives you the words and the structure to make your child’s reality part of the legal record, even when your nervous system is offline.

What Is This?

This is not a generic Parent Input template.

It is a neurodivergent-designed advocacy system that helps you turn:
• meltdowns
• shutdowns
• sensory overwhelm
• burnout
• and daily struggle

into legally usable, school-safe documentation that schools must consider when making IEP and 504 decisions.

Why Parents Need This

Most IEP templates assume:
• you have time
• you are organized
• you are emotionally regulated
• and you know how to speak “school”

Neurodivergent parents don’t live in that reality.

This system was built for:
• ADHD brains
• autistic moms
• AuDHD caregivers
• trauma-impacted families
• and anyone who goes blank in meetings
