  • Love this!

    I binge these podcasts because they make me feel like I’m not the only mom dealing with this. They cover so many good topics but also explain the reason behind it. There is so much truth in these episodes and I absolutely love listening and putting into practice things that I’m learning. Raising 2 boys is better with this resource!!

Q: So for those people who aren't familiar with the IEP, or they've heard it, or they've even been in the meeting, what is an IEP?
The guest explains that an IEP is an individualized learning plan, identifying strengths and needs, outlining goals, services, and supports, and that it is a living, implementable document rather than a one-time paperwork exercise. It should be specific, measurable, and tailored to the student, with ongoing progress monitoring.
