I’m not an IEP mom but I found this to be very informative!

While I’m not an IEP mom, I have two nephews that are on the autism spectrum. I have found these episodes very informative and appreciate Markeisha for giving of herself in this way.

I believe these topics of inclusion and IEP travel are very important because my brothers are very secluded from their family and can benefit as well.
