Decoding the Document to Empower Your Advocacy
The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is the roadmap for your child’s education, but for many parents, it reads like a foreign language. Schools often throw around legal jargon and codes that leave you nodding along without truly understanding if your child’s needs are being met.
As a former tenured teacher and special needs advocate, I speak the language.
In this deep-dive session, I review your child's current IEP with a fine-toothed comb. We will:
Translate the Jargon: I break down the codes, classifications, and educational lingo into plain English.
Spot the Gaps: I analyze whether the goals set by the school actually match the struggles you see at home.
Reality Check: We determine if the services offered are generic "box-checking" or if they are genuinely designed to help your child thrive.
You will leave this session with a clear understanding of what is on paper, what is missing, and the confidence to advocate for what your child actually needs.
