"Sir, slow your roll."

This week, Destiny and Lisa are getting honest about the "vibes" of the 2025-2026 school year. It hasn't been easy, and it certainly hasn't been quiet. We’re exploring the shift from collaborative innovation to rigid, black-and-white thinking at the IEP table.

We break down why "independence" is often just a code word for compliance, the dangers of relying on AI to write your advocacy emails, and how to handle the re-entry struggle after school breaks. Whether you’re a parent feeling the "whiplash" or an advocate managing your capacity, this conversation is for you.

Key Topics:

• The political climate’s impact on the classroom.

• Moving beyond black-and-white thinking in IEP goals.

• Why autonomy and agency matter more than just "checking boxes."

• Setting boundaries to stay regulated during high-conflict meetings.
