ACHIEVE Family Portal Statewide Launch

Eligible parents or guardians of a child with an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) can access the new ACHIEVE Family Portal, which provides 24/7 access to early intervention (birth-3) or special education (3-21) information. The ACHIEVE Family Portal is an optional, online tool that supports engagement in the IFSP/IEP process.  

Email invitations to create an account will begin going out Feb. 24, 2025 and will continue being sent up until March 1, 2025. See who can create an ACHIEVE Family Portal account to check the eligibility requirements. Parents interested in access to the portal should watch for an email invitation from no-reply-achieve@iowa.gov with the subject “You’re invited to join the ACHIEVE Family Portal.”

Account Creation is Optional

Families choose whether or not to create an account. You will still have access to records and information outside of the ACHIEVE Family Portal without an account. The portal does not replace person-to-person communication and collaboration with the IFSP or IEP team.

Access Anytime from Anywhere

There are no apps to download. You can access your child’s education records from your phone, tablet or computer anywhere you have internet access. Don’t worry if you don’t have internet access; you can still receive paper copies at your IFSP or IEP meeting.
