On the IEP OMG Show, we will explore what schools can do to support students with special needs and how parents can secure these supports. We’ll talk about the relevant history of special education and empower parents with strategies and insights into the school systems.
These bite-sized shows will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to rock any SST, 504, or IEP. (PS this show is still for you if you don’t yet know what those are!) Let me guide you through what is often confusing and overwhelming. Team up with me on IEP OMG! Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iepomgshow/support

And, man oh man, could they please spell out those acronyms? This episode will help you prepare yourself to be empowered with the understanding and perspective for an effective meeting!
