Whether you’re a veteran teacher, a parent, or brand new to special education, the law matters. It shapes eligibility decisions, service delivery, and what happens when teams disagree. Understanding it is not optional, and it does not have to feel overwhelming either.

In this episode, Ashley Barlow, attorney and advocate, breaks down IDEA in clear, practical terms.

We cover eligibility, district responsibilities, the biggest mistakes schools make, and how parents and teachers can challenge assessments and decisions. Real-world advice you can use right now to feel confident at the IEP table.
