IEP Check-In: Back to School Edition
It’s August… Do You Know Where Your Child’s IEP Is?
If you started making your back to school shopping list, but haven’t made your back to school IEP check-in list… This conversation is for you.
The school year is around the corner, and right now is the right time to start thinking about ways to help your child and the IEP team have a successful school year.
That’s why we’re chatting live with Colleen Ashford, known on Instagram as the Advocate SLP.
She’s not only a speech therapist, but she helps families navigate the IEP process and advocate at the IEP table as a non-attorney special education advocate.
