    E06: Won't Or Can't? What To Do When They Just Won't.

    In this follow-up to one of our most-requested topics, we’re digging deeper into the difference between won’t and can’t—and what to actually do when a student appears unwilling, unmotivated, or shut down. Behavior is communication, but interpreting that communication isn’t always straightforward. In Part 2, we move beyond identifying the difference and focus on actionable steps educators and families can take to support students when it seems like they “just don’t want to.”

    E05: Won't Or Can't? Rethinking Student Behavior

    When a child acts out, shuts down, or seems to “refuse” to follow directions — is it really defiance, or is it a skill gap? In this episode of Sped Decoded, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood areas in education: the difference between won’t and can’t. Join Lenesha aka Neesh as she unpacks how to tell whether a student’s behavior is a choice or a communication of need. You’ll learn practical ways to recognize disability-related behaviors, shift your mindset, and respond with both compassion and strategy — not punishment. 💡 Key Takeaways: How to tell if it’s behavior or a skill gap Why the “why” behind behavior matters Real examples from classrooms and families Tools to teach, not just discipline 🧡 Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or advocate, this conversation will help you see behavior in a new light — and build stronger, more supportive connections with your students. #SpedDecoded #IEPtips #SpecialEducation #BehaviorSupport
