Of course, you will have to listen to hear all the details!
But here is the skinny:
You are the parent of a child with a disability.
You will be with this amazing, beautiful, sometimes complex, and life changing child for MORE TIME THAN ANYONE ON THE IEP TEAM.
So, although it isn't your paid job to know IEPs or how to advocate....
You KNOW you need to know the system in order to be the voice for this child.
This podcast has a TON of not only tips and tricks from attendance of 80+ meetings per year (by yours truly-and this is ALL LEVELS-age 2.5 years to 21!)
BUT I also have some AMAZING guests lined up-both parents who have been through this process AND parent friendly professionals.
If you follow me on Instagram (@ParentFriendlyOT---go follow now if you don't already!) You already know I don't tell parents what to do.
I provide education and what I know has worked in the past and let you decide.
I'll jump start your creativity
I'll educate you about the IEP process
But ONLY you know your child best. Only you can make those awesome, amazing decisions of what you would envision for them in the future.
The IEP is your vehicle, your way of writing that vision and plan down. The IEP team is there to support you and your child.
