About this episode

The episode discusses IEPs, their implications for children, and how to advocate for services and placements effectively.

What is an IEP? What does it mean for your child? How do IEPs and IEP meetings differ across school districts? What is my recourse if the teacher who relates best to my child is moved to another school? We’re answering these questions and more in today’s solo episode with Vickie and Amanda!
