Has the IEP process ever left you wondering what to ask?
What your rights are. What belongs in the document. What to do when it isn't being followed.
You don't have to figure it out on your own. This is the same foundational training Karen teaches live, recorded so you can learn it on your schedule.
You don't know what you don't know, but you need to.
