I want to share something with you that might hit close to home. 

Have you ever had that nagging feeling that something’s just not quite right with what is happening for your child at school.

You know they’re in a general education classroom, which should be great, right?

But somehow, it still feels like they’re not really part of the group. It’s like they’re there, but not really there.

I’ve been hearing this a lot from parents, and it often boils down to what I call the Illusion of Inclusion. 

It’s this tricky thing where, on paper, it looks like your child is included because the IEP gives a percentage of time they’re physically present in the classroom. 

But when you dig a little deeper, you realize your child is not actually involved or engaged in what’s going on around them.

True inclusion is so much more than just being in the same room—it’s about your child connecting, participating, and being a real part of the learning community.
 

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me on Thursday, August 22nd, for another episode of The Art of Advocacy that can really change things for your child. 

We’re going to talk about this Illusion of Inclusion and, more importantly, how to move past it to make sure your child isn’t just sitting in the classroom but is actively involved and connected.
 

Here’s a bit of what we’ll dive into:

Finding Where Your Child Shines: We’ll talk about how to spot those moments where your child is genuinely engaged and participating in their education. 

Once you know where they’re truly connecting, you can help them build on those successes and keep that positive momentum going.

Seeing Beyond the Illusion: We’ll also look at those areas where your child might be “included” in name only—where they’re physically present but not really part of what’s happening. 

Recognizing these gaps is key to advocating for the kind of meaningful inclusion that your child needs and deserves.

Keeping the Conversation Going: Lastly, we’ll discuss how to keep the lines of communication open between you, your child, and their teachers. 

When you’re all talking regularly, it’s easier to celebrate the wins and tackle any challenges early on, making sure your child has the support they need to thrive.
 

Does any of this sound familiar to you? 

If so, I’d love for you to join us on August 22nd. 

We’ll take this journey together, working to make sure your child’s school experience is about more than just being present—it’s about being truly involved and growing every step of the way.

Now, Let’s Talk About What’s Next for Your Child...
