Raise your hand if this sounds like you...

  • You feel like everything in the IEP (individualized education program) is confusing -- and you don't even know where to start to learn about it!
  • You feel rushed and on your own to figure out what's in the IEP -- but you don't know where else to ask for clarification on your child's educational plan!
  • You know your are supposed to advocate -- but you don't know what to ask for!
  • You want your child to have effective IEP Goals -- but you don't know what that looks like!
  • You want to know more about what accommodations you should ask for -- and ones that are actually going to WORK for your child!

You don't have to be so lost when it comes to reading your child's IEP!

Now imagine understanding your child's IEP in just one weekend...

Here's what that would look like...

  • You look at your child's IEP and actually know what's in it
  • If there is anything you have questions about...you have resources to look it up!
  • If you still can't find the answer, you have the confidence to ask an informed question of the IEP team!
  • You aren't intimidated by the draft IEP that comes home before the meeting
  • You know what challenges that are missing from your child's IEP
  • You can start the 2023 year with clarity around what to do to get your child supported this year!

You deserve to feel this way as an advocate for your child, all you need is a little help!

And I can't wait to see your lightbulb light up with confidence!

I'm Beth Liesenfeld, occupational therapist and passionate supporter of parent advocacy!

In my time serving schools, I picked up on things successful parent advocates did that made a HUGE difference in the success of their children!

The first thing I noticed is parents who had even a little knowledge about what was in their child's IEP had more clarity on what to ask for!

Join us for a SUPER fun filled weekend to understand what's in your child's IEP! I can't wait to get started!!

WHO IS THE IEP BOOTCAMP FOR?


YOU'LL LOVE THIS IF:

  • You are a parent of a child with an IEP (individualized education program) in the US in the public (or public charter) schools
  • You have a child turning 3 and transitioning from the IFSP (early intervention) and pretty sure they will qualify for a school-based IEP
  • You are new or new-ish to the IEP system (within first 5 years)
  • You aren't new to the IEP system but feel like you need help with your child's IEP
  • You get overwhelmed at the sight of the IEP
  • You know your child isn't receiving the right supports but don't know what to do
  • You feel like your child has a "good" IEP but don't want to realize later you missed something!

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF:

  • You don't have an IEP for your child
  • You feel like you have a handle on this IEP thing!
  • You understand the IEP paperwork and are good to go!
  • This training is welcome to anyone, but not intended to train advocates or staff!

IN JUST A FEW HOURS...

You can know how to read your child's IEP.

It's the first step towards meaningful participation...and building your confidence to speak up for your child!

You may be wondering...
