Help a Mom Out

Published: Tue, 01/12/21

Do you remember those days when you were first dipping your toes into the special education waters...well okay, it might have been more like a sink or swim kinda moment.

As a parent you had heard stories when your child was young of how confusing and utterly overwhelming IEP meetings were. You remember hearing some warnings about making sure you know your rights.

Here's a question that came up in our recent live Facebook show...What advice can you share?

What support and ideas can you give this new patent?
You can click here and post your answers on my Facebook page, Visions and Voices Together. OR, just hit reply to this email and I will share your ideas with the parent.

You can also hear our discussion in the live show about:

* including a student that is homebound
* when a teacher is scared to include your child

* what about students that elope

* what can working parents do when they can't be there to help their child

with distance learning
* how can behavioral and social goals be worked on during distance

learning
Click on this link or the video below to see the replay of our Ask Me Anything Show. And the good news, you can still ask me questions and I'll answer them.

Ask Me Anything

You might have noticed it takes some different advocacy skills during all of this distance learning/remote/hybrid learning. Many parents have been asking me:

"How much can I ask the school to do?"

"Is what I'm asking for reasonable?"

"What about quality time learning with classmates?"

KNOW it's possible for your child to have more positive learning experiences during Distance Learning – if you have the right tools.

And the right tools are in our Distance Learning Advocacy Toolkit!

I want my special education advocacy support to be affordable for more parents. So, I wrote an eBook with seven must have advocacy tools for Distance Learning times. Click here to get a peek inside of some of the awesomeness you'll get with your advocacy toolkit. Buy your copy today for just $14.95!

P.S. No live show this Thursday, Jan. 14th. I'll be busy in IEP Land.

P.S.S. Would you like a way to show the teacher the work your child is doing in the moment during distance learning? A document camera can help you do that! And you can use your cell phone as your document camera - no cost!

Teachers also love to use document cameras so students can see up close the book being read, the math problem being solved, or many other possibilities.

Here's the scoop: Get this free app, Overviewer, watch this short video (6 minutes) and see exactly how your cell phone can easily be used as a document camera. I can't wait to try this!
