Have you had questions about the who, what, where, when, why and always how to approach a IEP/504 for your child? Well in this episode I talk with Mr. Ed Spinks, Attorney, Education Advocate and founder of Child First Advocates. He breaks it down for you to know the ins and outs of the process. He shares many of the services IEP advocates can assist you with as well.
 
Our discussion sheds light on what you should look for, documentation, where you can find it and who you should consider to be in your corner for that very important IEP meeting! The process can seem overwhelming and uncertainty can cause fear but with resources and information like what is shared, you will be a much more confident parent when you approach your planning team. Join us, make sure you have a pen and paper because your going to want to write much of this information down!

There has been a lot of talk about what parents are going to choose for their education options. There are 3+ 1. In seat, Hybrid, Virtual or can you Homeschool? What's your decision? With the clock ticking for parents are you comfortable with explanations of how things will run? Is filler work going to be a norm when teachers get sick? Special needs students, paras is their a contingency plan if those staff are sick? K-3 has my highest concern in this experimental phase the schools will be entering. Let's discuss!
Listen to where my thoughts are in the process and where I'm leaning. If you have questions on how to carry out your options email me. Don't forget to check out our facebook page.

You know when you feel bamboozled by a situation...How about a school lunch or school program you'd like started. Only problem is who's going to do it? It seems like no matter where your kids attend school it's always something. In this weeks episode I discuss how those contracted to provide lunches aren't living up to the parents expectations. I also discuss how a mother of a son with Autism could manuver obstacles the schools want to handle but just can't.  We are the ones looking for change, now it is time to make it happen. We wonder about quality, quantity, and why the wheels on the bus aren't going around bu it's time to put your advocate hat on! 
As always thanks for listening!
