In It: Raising Kids Who Learn Differently

Busting IEP myths with Understood Explains


Listen Later

Do you ever wonder if having an IEP means your child will be labeled forever? Are you worried that an IEP will mean your child is separated from their peers? 

Well, those are actually both myths. And this week, we’re sharing a podcast episode that’s all about busting common myths relating to IEPs, or Individualized Education Programs. 

The episode comes from the latest season of Understood Explains, which is all about IEPs. It’s hosted by Juliana Urtubey, a special education expert and former National Teacher of the Year. 

If you like what you hear, search for and follow Understood Explains wherever you get podcasts. Their new season is launching now.
