This week's guest is Destiny Huff and I had the best time talking to her about IEP accommodations and modifications that are neurodiversity-affirming. I know that we are all trying to write IEP's that are strengths-based and ND affirming, so you are definitely going to want to carve out the time to listen to this episode!

We also chat about how we can partner with advocates like Destiny, vs seeing them as an adversary. There is so much packed into this week's show, so head over and listen to it TODAY!

Topics Discussed:

• Accommodations vs modifications on IEPs

• Examples of neurodiversity-affirming IEP accommodations

• Challenging behavior and FBA's vs. accommodations

• How to learn more about what a child responds best to at home

• Seeing an advocate as a partner vs an adversarial
