I have learned so much from Ashley, as she brings personal and professional knowledge.
Feeling overwhelmed & uninformed? Ashley’s Podcast is a MUST. Why? She’s a Special Education attorney!..who covers an abundance of topics. Plus she’s a mom who is so empathetic & honest! So if you want parental tools to use so you have meaningful participation—as IDEA law intended—Listen to Ashley!
I found Ashley during a time when we were exhausted from the amount of “fighting” we had to do with our child’s school to have her seen as a child and not a disability. Ashley has a way of explaining things to where you feel like you are sitting down and having a conversation with her. Ashley has done an amazing job at picking and interviewing her guests to get the most knowledge out of them for her listeners benefit. I find myself going back and re-listening to older episodes to take some notes... more
I can’t believe it I just had to stop to review this podcast and I was going to start by saying how I rarely leave reviews….. then I saw I had already left one 🙈 I could not believe today when I was listening because I literally have every amazing parenting book that exists!! I recently also started listening to audiobooks especially since I found out you can get free from your library!!! But between the parenting courses I take, the parenting webinars I attend, and the amount of facebook gr... more
I can’t believe this show doesn’t have more reviews, especially 5 star reviews!! I have been a special Ed mom now for going on 5 years, I am now a mom of three and this year will be the first year with all 3 in the same elementary school. I have two with IEP’s, my oldest is going into 4th grade and I didn’t get her IEP until the end of kindergarten (huge mistake) even though I had a diagnosis before kindergarten. I didn’t know any of the laws, or my rights, I had no idea the district should hav... more
