The School Support Plan Binder · Bodhih Pro Kits · 107 by Bodhih Training, trainers to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
How do I organise my child's IEP, EHCP or school support plan paperwork?
Use one binder with eight sections (plan, reports, communication, meetings, progress, incidents, profile, transitions) and one index that numbers every document. Log every conversation, track actions with owners and dates, and update it for twenty minutes each week. The School Support Plan Binder kit from Bodhih Training gives you the workbook, forms and letters to do this.

You already feel the problem. Here is what it is costing you.
A pile of paper and no story
Reports, letters, emails and minutes arrive from every direction. When you need the one page that matters, it is somewhere in a box, and the moment in the meeting passes.
Meetings that move too fast
Nine professionals, thirty minutes and a plan full of vague phrases. You leave unsure what was agreed, who will do it, or when.
Agreements that quietly fade
Support is promised in September and still not happening in November. Chasing feels awkward, and without a record it is hard to show what was agreed.
Not knowing when to push
Is this worth a formal complaint, or should you wait another week? Without clear rules, it is easy to escalate too early or leave things too late.
Picture the next few weeks with the kit open beside you.
Imagine the night before the next meeting. Instead of searching a shoe box, you open the workbook, glance at the Dashboard and see two replies overdue, one support not yet in place and your child's average progress rating. You print the one-page profile your child helped write and your three asks, each with a document number beside it.
As you sit down in the meeting, you notice how different it feels to start with your child's strengths. When someone offers 'literacy support', you ask what it will look like on an ordinary Tuesday, and the answer becomes something you can check. Before anyone stands up, you read back the actions: what, who and by when.
The next day, you send the summary email from the library in two minutes and copy the actions into the tracker. Six weeks later, the Progress Review shows what is working, and you send a thank-you note as easily as a chaser.
Whether you start with the Settings sheet tonight or the one-page profile at the weekend, you will find each step is small. The binder does the remembering, so you can keep your attention on your child.

1. Start with the child. Ask for two minutes at the start to share the one-page profile, or for your child to share their views. It sets the tone and keeps your child at the centre. 2. Agree the agenda and the time. "Could we check we'll cover the three things I sent, and agree what happens if we run out of time?" 3. Ask the "Tuesday question". For every proposed support, ask what it will look like on an ordinary Tuesday. Who will do it, when, where and how often? How will we know if it is working? This one question turns vague promises into specific provision. 4. Use a parking list. When something important comes up that will not fit, write it on a "parking list" and ask for it to go into the actions with a date. This stops the meeting drifting and stops important things being lost.

The School Support Plan Binder: FAQs
Read the free guideAlready bought? Resend my linkDoes this work for an IEP, an EHC plan or another kind of plan?
Yes. The method and tools are built around the job that every system shares: gathering evidence, agreeing support, meeting, following up and reviewing. The cheat sheet and Appendix A give dated notes for the US, England, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, India, the UAE, Singapore and South Africa, so you can use your own system's terms.
Is this legal, medical or other professional advice?
No. The kit is educational and organisational. It does not diagnose, recommend therapies or tell you what your child needs, and it is not legal advice. Work with your child's school and clinicians, check the official rules for your system, and speak to an independent advocate or a qualified professional before any formal step.
My child does not have a diagnosis yet. Is it still useful?
Yes. Many children get support before or without a diagnosis, and the evidence file, profile and meeting tools are especially helpful while you wait for an assessment. The request for assessment template helps you put a request in writing.
How do I prepare for an IEP or EHCP meeting?
Ask for the agenda, attendee list and reports two weeks before. Send your parent views a week before. Choose three clear asks, each with evidence and a suggested next step, and bring someone to take notes. The Meeting Preparation and Parent Views form walks you through it.
How do I write measurable goals for my child's plan?
A measurable goal answers six questions: who, does what, under what conditions, how well, by when and measured how, starting from a clear baseline. The Goals and Accommodations Ideas Bank shows eight weak goals rewritten and gives 101 accommodation ideas to discuss with school.
What should I do if the school is not providing agreed support?
Raise it in writing with the person responsible, quoting what was agreed and when, and ask when it will start. If nothing changes, climb the escalation ladder one rung at a time. The Decision Card and the letter library cover each step.
Can teachers and support staff use the kit?
Yes. Teachers and support coordinators can use the profile, meeting forms, partnership agreement and goal-writing guide with families. The personal licence covers use with the families you work with; for whole-school use, contact solutions@bodhih.com.
Do I need Excel?
No. The workbook opens in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice. The forms open in any PDF reader that supports fillable fields, and the Word templates open in Word or Google Docs.
How can I build my own confidence for these conversations?
If speaking up in meetings feels hard, you can measure your starting point with the AssessAll Assertive Communication Profile or Speak-Up: Raising a Concern and Hearing One. The Everyday Agreements Assessment is useful before you sign plans or agreements.
How do I turn what I learn into a development plan for myself?
Advocating for a child builds real skills in organisation, negotiation and communication. You can turn what you learn into a measured individual development plan with Jobulary, which helps you set goals and track your own growth.
How much does The School Support Plan Binder cost?
₹1,299 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $34 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.
How do I get the files after paying?
Instantly. Your download page opens the moment payment succeeds, and a permanent download link is emailed to you. Download each file separately or everything in one ZIP.
What software do I need?
Any of the usual tools: Excel or Google Sheets for spreadsheets, Word or Google Docs for templates, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview, Xodo or GoodNotes for the fillable PDFs, and Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar for the calendar plan.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is a digital download, kits are not refundable once downloaded. We always refund a duplicate charge or a failed delivery, and if a file is corrupted and we cannot fix it within 3 working days. Full terms: bodhih.org/refunds.
Can my company buy this for a team?
Yes. Team and company licences, and workshops on this topic run by Bodhih Training, are available. Write to solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601.
