New ACHIEVE Family Portal

A new tool is coming soon to help you prepare for conversations about your student’s special education progress. The ACHIEVE Family Portal is an optional, online system that lets parents and guardians access information about their child's special education records electronically! This tool provides you with important information to support student’s development and learning and helps you take part in Individualized Education Program (IEP) team meetings.

"Iowa is proud to be the first state to offer an online way for families to access real-time early intervention and special education information for their children through the ACHIEVE Family Portal,” said Betsy Lin, Bureau Chief of Student Instruction, Evaluation and Services. “The family portal will enhance the collaboration and communication between providers and families, supporting all children's progress."


This portal is set to launch the week of February 24, 2025.
