How to Get The Education Your Child Deserves... Without Constant Battles
Think about being in yet another IEP meeting…
You’ll spend hours preparing, researching, and carefully planning your case for why your child needs to be included.
But as soon as you start speaking at the meeting, you see those polite nods, the side-eye glances—you know no one is really listening.
AND despite all your efforts and sleepless nights, it feels like nothing is ever going to change.
Parents have shared with me that just the thought of IEP meetings brings back feelings of PTSD.
This is not the life you are meant to live.
Given everything you're dealing with, you may be running into 1 or more of these problems:
Your input is not taken seriously and is not included in the IEP.
No change is happening despite efforts to share info, webinars and articles.
You breathe a sigh of relief after getting a well-written IEP, only to discover later that it is not being followed.
If these problems sound familiar, you might be making one or more of these mistakes... without realizing it:
Assuming Early Input Guarantees Inclusion
Believing Resources Alone Will Spark Change
Thinking the Job is Done After the IEP Meeting
The good news is, by recognizing and understanding these mistakes, you can take steps to avoid them.
Even better news is YOU don't have to navigate this complex, broken education system alone.
Here’s the deal with advocating alone for your child in this current reality of a very broken education system:
You’ve been trying to push forward, to turn the wheels of the education system, but alone, it often feels like you’re stuck.
You feel the resistance at every turn- ignored emails, unresolved IEP meetings, and the gut-wrenching feeling that the system has forgotten your child.
You’re never able to truly relax because just when you think you can, you discover something else which isn’t working.
..and that’s where Connecting for Change™ comes in.
