Beth Liesenfeld is an occupational therapist passionate about providing “insider” information of the school’s process and culture to parents in order to increase collaboration between parents and school staff! Her company, The IEP Lab, provides online workshops and courses as well as produces The Parent IEP Lab Podcast.   Here is what we cover in today’s episode:  The inequity of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and how they often lead to emotional exhaustion for parents and educators. Creating a more collaborative and child-centered IEP process. And how having a vision statement is key for successful inclusion.  Thanks for listening, and if you haven't already, please give us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
