Come talk with me at the very first Village Hall Meeting, discussing IEPs!

I am so excited to partner with Little Luminaries Therapy Services / Taylor Hickok to talk about all things IEP.

09/03/2026

I recently realized we weren't fully following the plan we all agreed to in my son's IEP — not because anyone dropped the ball on purpose, just life and real barriers getting in the way.

But when the plan isn't being followed, my son's education is what's affected. So I'm preparing to request an emergency IEP meeting to bring us all back together and get realigned — sooner rather than waiting for the next scheduled check-in.

I didn't always know I had the option to ask for that. Now I do — and I'm using it.

This is exactly what our workshop, "What To Do If You Don't Agree With the School," is about — not blame, just knowing your options and how to advocate for your child, together.

Happy National Autism Awareness Day 2026.

As a month that is very dear to my personal life, I urge my followers to not only care about this today, but instead to expand your knowledge EVERY DAY. The purpose of a specific day is to bring awareness, but understanding and acceptance cannot be reached if you do not put in the effort to research and learn.

In honor of today & all of this month (and truly just every single day), here are some facts and information that may not be common knowledge:

▫️1 in 31 children are diagnosed ASD
▫️Boys are 3 to 4 times as likely to be diagnosed (as they present differently than girls)
▫️Adults can be diagnosed. With today’s knowledge, more and more adults are realizing that they have gone undiagnosed over the years and are being diagnosed now.
▫️Asperger’s Syndrome is NO LONGER a diagnosis
▫️DSM -V states diagnosis’ can be as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
▫️Levels are not meant to be linear but instead a range that can go up, down, left, and right. A child can fluctuate between levels. A level is not permanent.
▫️Autism can impact social skills, communication skills executive functioning skills, daily living skills, fine motor, sensory processing, academics, and more.
▫️Autism can (and often does), act comorbid with other diagnoses such as ADHD, Anxiety, Sleep Issues, Epilepsy,& GI issues.
▫️ Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a profile of Autism that is a central nervous system deficit.
▫️There is NO scientific evidence on what causes Autism.
▫️Autism is not something that can or needs to be “cured”.
