63 | Organizing Your IEP Documents with April Rehrig

Managing special education documents can often feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, we reveal practical strategies to keep your child's important educational records organized and easily accessible. Discover how a dedicated file folder or binder can become your best ally in maintaining order, and learn the benefits of organizing both paper and digital methods. By categorizing documents chronologically, you can ensure that you're always prepared for those crucial meetings and appointments, making your advocacy efforts more effective and less stressful.
Empowerment is the key theme as we discuss the vital role of parents in their child's educational journey. It's all about trusting your instincts, asking the right questions, and standing firm in what you know about your child, even in the face of "experts." Tune in and transform your approach to advocacy with April's expert guidance!

Hey! Are you a parent of a loved one with a disability? Have you ever wanted to be on a podcast? Then I want to hear from you! Literally! Send me an audio message that I can include in an upcoming special episode.

Just ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to be directed to a website where you can record your response to the following question:

If you could go back in time to when your child was first diagnosed with a disability, what would you tell yourself?

I would LOVE to hear from you!!

And finally, if you have been wondering how long you need to keep certain documents, whether its a utility bill, and IEP, medical records, or an insurance policy, I have a quick and accessible one-page document for you to download that shares exactly how long you should be holding on to these items and when you can let them go (e.g. shred and/or recycle.)

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get on my email list and I will send this handy doc straight to your inbox.

And I promise I won't start bombarding your inbox with emails -- that is not my style! I just want to be able to stay in touch and keep you informed occasionally of resources to help you reclaim whatever it is YOU need!


Happy Organizing!
