In Episode 143 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie speaks again with Christine Levy of the Levy Educational Advocacy Group for an "IEP 101" deep dive, covering what an IEP is, how it's structured, and the most common pitfalls families encounter. Christine walks through the core components of an IEP — parent input statements, present levels of performance, measurable goals, progress monitoring, extended school year services, and transition planning — while highlighting how increasingly template-driven, dropdown-based IEP software has made these documents less individualized and less specific about how skills will actually be taught.
