Part 5: New Year, Strong Start: IEP & 504 Tips for Parents

Use Your Rights WISELY. 💪 Unresolved issues from your last IEP meeting? Request another one — NOW. Don't let concerns grow while your child feels unsupported. Show up to Open House, remind teachers about the IEP, and set quarterly check-in reminders for yourself. And if teachers don't respond? Escalate. You ALWAYS have the right to request an IEP meeting. Use it. 🙌

One goal per area of need:
One, achievable step at a time is how real equity happens for our kids.
Think about it:
As a fully capable adult, how many brand-new, hard skills can you focus on at the same time?
One?
Maybe two on a really good week?

Now imagine your child — who already finds learning more challenging — carrying that pressure.
The strongest move you can make as a parent:
Ruthlessly protect the number of goals.

In my next YouTube video, I’m breaking down why complicated, overloaded IEPs quietly sabotage your child’s progress
… and how the simplest IEPs create real momentum, small wins, and lasting success.
I'll also post a free handout to help you organize your IEP Audit
Stay tuned!
