I had my first IEP meeting of the school year last week, and when my client told me it was the first one that didn’t make her cry in years, it hit me.
Have you ever brought up something at an IEP meeting — and the team simply didn’t know what you were talking about?
Do you ever leave an IEP meeting thinking, “That one test score does not tell the whole story”?
Do you ever leave an IEP meeting feeling frustrated, unheard, or completely misunderstood?
Have you ever walked into an IEP meeting and immediately felt it? The tension.
Advocating for your child can feel isolating, exhausting, and deeply personal.
We’ve all hit that moment in an IEP meeting where the conversation just… stops. No agreement.
