In this episode of The Affirming Village Podcast, hosts Dr. Destiny Huff, LPC and Lisa Baskin Wright break down why documentation and accessibility are some of the most powerful—and overlooked—tools in the IEP process.

They explore:

• Why documentation isn’t just paperwork, but a roadmap for accountability

• How vague or inaccessible language creates confusion for parents, teachers, and students

• The difference between physical accessibility and accessible communication

• How the words used in IEPs can either affirm or undermine a child’s support

• Practical ways families and schools can ensure clarity, equity, and accountability in every IEP

This episode is a must-watch for parents, educators, and advocates who want to ensure that IEPs are not only written but understood, accessible, and actionable.
