You know that dizzy feeling when an IEP meeting ends and you’re replaying the conversation in your head?

“Wait, did I mishear that? Am I overreacting?”

You didn’t mishear. You didn’t overreact. You were gaslighted.

And it’s one of the most frustrating tactics schools use, because it’s not about facts, it’s about control.
 

In my latest video, I reveal the 3 most common gaslighting phrases parents hear in IEP meetings (and no, you’re not imagining them). 

Even more important, I show you what to say back without losing your cool.

One of them sounds like this:
“Oh, don’t worry, we’ve got that covered.”
Sounds comforting, right? Except…it usually isn’t true.
 

The other two? You’ve almost certainly heard them and once you recognize them, you’ll never un-hear them again.

If you’ve ever felt your chest tighten, your voice shrink, or your anger explode while being gaslighted, this video will give you a new path forward. 

A calmer one. A stronger one.

Because staying quiet doesn’t protect your child. It only protects the system.

Ponder: “Am I being asked to stay quiet so things feel smooth, or so my child gets what they need?”
Ask: “Where can I find this written, in IDEA, state law, or district policy?”
Do: Bring an ally. A second set of ears helps cut through gaslighting fog.
 

See you inside the replay.

P.S. Connecting for Change™ members, we have our next get-together this Wednesday!

Every child brings their own story, strengths, and spark into school. And while no two paths look alike, we share the same ground: wanting our kids to be seen, supported, and included.
