Here is the thing they do not tell you:
When your input lives in one box in the document, the school can consider it.
They can thank you for it.
And then they can build the rest of the IEP without it.
Yep, that's reality.
Because your input was never connected to anything.
It stayed in its box. Optional.
And optional does not change your child's day.
Your voice needs to be woven through the entire IEP, in the strengths section, in how your child is described right now, in the goals, in the conversation about supports and placement.
When that happens, you stop doubting yourself. You can spot what is missing. You know what to ask for.
That is what this free, upcoming training is built to do.
I am putting it together for parents who are done second-guessing themselves and ready to read their child's IEP with a new view point.
We'll have three live sessions
inside a private Facebook group, with time between them to think, ask questions, and have rich conversations with each other. Just the kind of place I like to hang out.
Every session is built around helping you understand what a truly inclusive IEP looks like, and how to build one for your child.
Because I am not willing to let go of this:
Your child doesn't have to prove they're ready for the general education classroom. They belong there.
