What About School?
The IEP (Individualized Education Plan) Process
In the United States (and many other countries), children are entitled to have an individualized educational plan. In theory this sounds nice, but in practice, it can be a confused and contentious process. We will go through the steps, dos and don’ts of the process along with helpful hints,
An Advocate
It may seem like an unnecessary expense and many school districts make it seem like everyone is on the same side and following the rules. It turns out that many districts themselves do not know nor follow the proper protocols to best service a child with the appropriate and necessary education. Here, we will discuss professional advocates and their role.

This may feel scary and unnecessary, but you would be surprised how often families end up here to receive what is rightfully theirs. We will discuss potential steps you may want to explore.
