SHOW NOTES
Have you ever walked into an IEP meeting and felt completely outnumbered?
In this episode of The Collaborative IEP Podcast, we wrap up my series on Seven Simple Solutions to Solve Your Sticky IEP Situations, and we’re talking about what to do when the district tries to create a power imbalance by stacking the room with professionals.
In this episode, I explain:
- Why large IEP teams can feel intimidating
- What schools sometimes do to create pressure in meetings
- Why IEP teams should not be making decisions by vote
- How you can advocate confidently even when you feel outnumbered
- How preparation and knowledge can help balance the power at the table
- How to navigate the personalities and dynamics in a tense meeting
IEP meetings can carry a lot of stress for parents and educators alike. My goal in this episode is to remind you that your voice matters and that strong advocacy starts with preparation, confidence, and collaboration.
Listen now to learn how to stay grounded and advocate effectively — even when the room feels stacked against you.Join The Membership: https://ashleybarlowco.com/the-collaborative-iep-membership
