During our summer break for July, we are featuring a few of our most popular episodes that you might have missed during the busy school year. Today’s encore edition covers a disturbing trend we’ve seen about eligibility for IEPs in which children who need services are being denied for a variety of reasons. The best way to be a prepared parent is to arm yourself with knowledge. We hope this information will be helpful as you plan for the 2023-2024 school year. 

Show Highlights:

• The starting point for eligibility: the assessment
• How the trend is for opposing counsels to use special education language and buzzwords to apply delay tactics and “wait and see” approaches
• Why an IEP DOES NOT equal special day classes and removal from general education classrooms
• Why struggling children are being denied IEPs with the excuse that “they are doing OK without any services”
• Why struggling academically is NOT the only basis for IEP services for a child
• What the law actually says about eligibility criteria for IEP
