Don't IEP Alone Academy

Let's face it--there's nothing more frustrating than the IEP process. Hey, we're busy! We work, we have kids, we are trying to have a life over here. So sometimes those IEP concerns get pushed aside.

Every August and September, you vow to do better with this whole IEP thing.

And yet, there's something keeping you from getting traction.

Your heart is where it needs to be. You know your IEP is garbage. Well, maybe garbage is harsh. You know it needs to be better. But how do you get there?

You know what you're missing? A plan. A starting point.

The problem? Most training that is available to parents is either a) developed by academics who are out of touch with the realities of IEPs, or b) only focus on having you learn minute details of IDEA, often make achieving learning the IEP process more trouble than it's worth.

You need concrete action steps.

In just 5 days, you'll have your list and be ready to get after it this school year.

Over the past 12 years, I have attended hundreds of IEP meetings and helped hundreds of families be heard. I can troubleshoot IEPs in my sleep! (and sometimes I do)

But it wasn't always that way. I've made my fair share of mistakes.

I've fired team members and case-managers and blindly asked for twice the number of services my son was getting (expecting twice the progress!).

Our early meetings were not what I'd call "successful."

I have attended workshops and conferences that were a waste of time and money. Going through IDEA line by line is not helpful if you're not given a blueprint of how to implement it.

Intervention ideas are not helpful if you don't know how to ask for them.

Once I figured it out, I told myself I wasn't going to stop until I could teach every possible parent out there.

"The IEP process is frightening and can make a person question their knowledge, ability, and confidence. Every time I walk into an IEP meeting with these materials in my hands, my confidence is restored because I go into the meeting organized, structured, and ready to take on what is often very scary. The practical tips help me feel empowered because I know I can refer to them — quickly — when I start to lose my focus or when doubt in my ability to advocate creeps in. Overall, having this instills confidence for me because I know I am prepared and ready… and this helps me stay calm and allows me to do what I need to for my child."

You're ready for Back-to-School ...is your IEP?

This year, you'll be ready.
