Mottern Memo: IEP Tip of the Week! - https://mailchi.mp/motternadvocacy/mottern-memo-tip-of-the-week-402

Parents are KEY stakeholders at the IEP table. They are NOT spectators, they are participants and parents are the expert on their child.

Do you see the behavior across settings?

IEP Tip of the Week!

Big announcement for the Mottern Memo brought to you by Mottern Advocacy 🚨

I’m adding a new feature: Tip of the Week.

Every week, I’m sharing one advocacy tip that cuts through the noise.

No fluff. No vague language. Just clear, actionable guidance grounded in IDEA.

Because being a spectator is not meaningful participation & families deserve clarity.

The revised GaDOE Dyslexia Handbook was released in July 2025. By August 1, this handbook was distributed to each educator in every Georgia school. https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/georgia-doe-dyslexia-handbook/

Do YOU know what is in the handbook? Join guest Missy Purcell for a walk through the handbook.

After that walk, IDA-GA Board Member Ashley Evans will continue the discussion with Missy, taking questions from attendees. Please also feel free to submit a question when you register: https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/event/a-walk-through-ga-dyslexia-handbook/

IEPs don’t get a fresh start just because it’s August. Advocacy isn’t extra — it’s essential.

The new school year brings fresh supplies, clean slates, and hopeful beginnings — but if your child has an IEP or 504 plan, you know the work doesn’t reset with the calendar.

The services, supports, and goals written last spring still matter today. And whether you're navigating new teachers, new schedules, or old patterns, having someone in your child's corner who knows how to read between the lines, ask the right questions, and hold the team accountable isn’t a bonus — it’s the foundation.

📚 This year, start strong.
📝 Start informed.
💡 Start with advocacy that’s built on law, data, and your child’s needs.
