83. [SPECIAL EDUCATION EDITION] Assessing Your Child's IEP

How do I know if my child's IEP is good or good enough?  Such a common question.   Today I am giving you things to consider when assessing your child's IEP.  What are some red flags?  What is and isn't ok?   Questions to ask so that you understand the goals on your child's IEP and when 80% mastery is not ok.   I talk about what you should always do and what I don't recommend that you do.  An IEP should be focused on where they are headed and not focused on their deficits right now.  The goal is to give them the services and accommodations to help those lacking skills emerge.   If you want to learn more about special education be sure to check out all of the benefits available to you when you become Not Your Average Autism Mom. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support

Om Podcasten

This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children but it has evolved and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan is 27 years old and was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week I talk about topics that directly impact your life and go hand in hand with your unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support
