The ABC of the IEP: Field Notes for Parents
Breaking down special education, one letter at a time. | Podcast for Parents
Confused by special education? Feeling like everyone else knows the system better than you? You're not alone - and you're in the right place.
I'm Monica - a school psychologist, an advocate, a mom to a neurodivergent kid with an IEP, and someone who's sat on every side of the IEP table (and in the student seat myself). I created this podcast to give parents a clear, calm, insider look at the special education process - without the legal jargon or overwhelm.
Each short episode breaks down one key topic - from accommodations to behavior plans to evaluations - with real life examples, tips, and a little encouragement to help you feel prepared and empowered.
The vibe? Think of it like sitting down with a knowledgeable friend over coffee - honest, approachable, and always focused on helping you feel more confident navigating your child's education.
The first episodes launch soon - stay tuned!
