How To Get to YES at Meetings

Published: Tue, 07/10/18

Alice Assertive (parent): I'm not leaving that meeting until I get an one-on-one paraprofessional for my child.

Nathan No (administrator): This mom is never happy with anything we do. I bet anything she's going to bring up that 1:1 aide again. We're not budging on our answer, NO.

Tired of hearing, "No." at your meetings?

One of the examples we use in the Facebook video is when the district says no to a 1:1 aide, saying that would be too restrictive.

You can also listen to the podcast of this show - a great way to learn while driving, taking a shower, or relaxing outside. Click here.

One of the key takeaways from the training we did, was to learn to distinguish between the positions we can get stuck on and the need to understand the underlying interests. That's how we are going to get to YES!

Click on the image below to go to the CADRE website and see a short video that will help you get real clear on this.

The second key takeaway we talked about is to ask more questions!

When I first became a professional advocate I knew a lot about the laws (remember I'm not an attorney and can't give legal advice), federal regulations, and research on best practices (I was a teacher for 30 years).

I knew some about traditional and consensus bargaining because I was a teacher representative on our school district's bargaining team. And since I have started my advocacy business I have loved learning more to help families Get To Yes at IEP meetings.

Go to the 16 minute, 16 second part of the video and see how we walk through what to do when you hear "No".
