Every time I walk into the room to lead a Parent IEP workshop I have brightly colored index cards or sticky notes in my hand. I pass them out and ask every parent to tell me... "What's one thing you wish your child's teacher knew?"

The results of that question are valuable insights into what parents REALLY want from the school system and often they are focused on the importance of communication, trust, and accountability in the IEP process. As a parent or educator, you know how crucial these elements are in ensuring a successful IEP outcome.

On this episode, I share with you 3 answers I collected at a recent Parent IEP Workshop, plus an unexpected story of an uninvited animal that entered my house and why hiring an expert is sometimes a necessary decision.
