What is an IEP? What does it mean for your child? How do IEPs and IEP meetings differ across school districts? What is my recourse if the teacher who relates best to my child is moved to another school? We’re answering these questions and more in today’s solo episode with Vickie and Amanda!

Show Highlights:

• The IEP outlines services, accommodations, and placements, but does not guarantee specific personnel to implement them.
• A general rule for any concerns about your child’s IEP: Always ask!
• Getting creative and specific in the IEP, regardless of the teacher
• Advice to parents when “that one great teacher” goes elsewhere
• Debate over different types of interventions (The law says they must be “appropriate.”)
• Clearing up confusion over expert opinions and evidence-based programs
• The most valuable teacher on your team is the one who is willing to try an intervention without becoming combative, defensive, and egotistical.
• What to do right now for next year
