If you’ve ever asked this question, you’re not alone — and this week’s episode will help you find the answer.

New school year, new routines… and sometimes new frustrations.

If you’ve ever made an All About Me book for your child (and if you’ve ever listened to this podcast!), you know how helpful it can be. It’s a simple way to introduce your child to teachers and staff, share their strengths, and explain their needs in a clear, approachable way.

We’re back, baby!!!!  Let’s catch up!  In this episode of the Collaborative IEP podcast, I open up about the recent chaos in my life—from back-to-school stresses to personal health issues and preparing to move  Griffin into college.

Our focus this summer is to bring you quick, content-rich episodes on special education and advocacy, inspired by our latest product, the IEP Guru Academy.

In this episode, I wrap up our journey through Part B of IDEA, give you a quick look at Section 1419 (preschool grants), and share a personal advocacy lesson about the power of “using all the words” at the IEP table.
