If you’ve ever walked out of an IEP meeting thinking, “What just happened?”—you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m diving into what really causes meetings to go sideways—and how you can recover when they do. From unexpected conflict to missed cues and last-minute surprises, I’ll share what I’ve learned the hard way (so you don’t have to).

We’ll walk through simple ways to prevent future breakdowns, handle tough moments in the moment, and reset after a rocky meeting. Whether you’re brand new to IEPs or a seasoned pro, you’ll find practical takeaways and reassurance that one tough meeting doesn’t define your work.
