Something stayed with me after our May trainings ended.
We moved through a lot of the IEP: Strengths, present levels, goals, services, SDI, placement, the full arc of a connected
IEP.
And you left knowing more than you came in with.
But I kept thinking about the gap between knowing the framework and watching it meet a real document. There's a moment when you see someone trace the thread through a child's IEP, out loud, naming where it holds and where it breaks, and something
shifts.
The framework stops being something you understand and becomes something you can use.
Our May trainings gave you the framework. June is where you watch it in action. Here's what I added because of what I noticed in May:
Live IEP Mini-Audits.
Wednesday, June 24 and Thursday, June 25, 2 parents each day will share their child's real IEP.
exactly where it holds and exactly where it breaks.
4 real children. 4 real documents. Over 2 days.

Here's how each day looks:
Tuesday, June 23
We go deeper on strengths as a teaching tool. You'll also learn the Needs Reframe: how to shift from "my child struggles
with reading comprehension" to language that connects your child's strengths directly to what the IEP needs to provide. It's a sentence that changes what gets written in the document.
Wednesday, June 24
We start with goals: what makes
a goal strength-based, and exactly how to ask for one. Then we move into the first 2 live IEP Mini-Audits.
Thursday, June 25
2 more live audits. By the end of Thursday you'll have watched 4 real IEPs go through this process. And if
you're ready to have me do this with your child's specific document, I'll walk you through exactly how that works.
Friday, June 26: Bonus session
I built a
custom AI tool for parents. It's called This Is Me! and it does something I haven't seen any other tool do. It asks you questions about your child. Then it writes a complete learner profile: your child's strengths, how those strengths can be used to teach new skills, what works, what every teacher needs to know before the year starts. It even suggests language you can bring straight into the IEP.
I'm demoing it live on Friday. And parents who sign up for an Inclusive IEP Audit™ get access to This Is Me! as part of the package.

You participated in the trainings in May. Come see what happens when the framework meets a real IEP, next week.
