In this episode, I talk with Shelley Kenow, an expert in helping parents of children with special needs understand how the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process works. We talk about what an IEP is and how parents can better understand it to help their child. #nolimits
The goal of an IEP is to help children with special needs get individual help for their specific way of learning.
Shelley helps parents who are having trouble with the IEP process by expressing how important it is to communicate with teachers, speak up for your child's needs, and take the lead at IEP meetings.
We also discussed common misunderstandings about IEPs and how parents can reduce or eliminate confusion. Shelley helps parents define the IEP and what it means for their child. She also assists you in getting your concerns addressed.
This episode is a must-listen if you have a child with special needs or know someone who does. Listen now to discover tips and strategies to navigate the IEP process so your child can get the education they deserve.

I am a wife of 30 years, mom for 22 years, trained human to a chihuahua for 13 years, special educator for 30 years, author, Master IEP Coach®, speaker/presenter, and livestream host of #nolimits and cohost on Friday with Fran.
I love nurturing families that are going through the special education process, broadening the perspective of those who don't have a disability or know someone who does, and encouraging everyone to make the world better for all, one person at a time!
