On this special Tuesday edition of Don't IEP Alone, host Lisa Lightner covers the essential things parents need to do right now for their child's Individualized Education Program. 

As the February frenzy approaches and IEP meetings loom, Lisa encourages parents to reclaim their understanding of their child's IEP by revisiting the document and identifying necessary changes. Additionally, she shares insights about the importance of addressing Extended School Year (ESY) services and urges parents to equip themselves with the knowledge needed to advocate effectively for their children. 

Through real-life testimonials and practical advice, Lisa emphasizes the need for formal IEP training and invites parents to take proactive steps towards ensuring their child receives the support they are entitled to. Join us as we navigate the challenging terrain of IEPs and empower parents to advocate for their children's educational needs.
