Today’s episode is a replay of Lynzy Coughlin’s podcast, Motherhood Meets Medicine, where Vickie recently appeared as a recent guest. She provided a lot of helpful information for parents about a 504 plan or when an IEP is in place. You will learn what rights parents have in these cases, along with what a parent can ask and advocate for in their child’s education. Join us!

Show Highlights:

What led Vickie into special education law
Why Vickie and Amanda decided to provide pro bono and low bono rates at their practice
How the Inclusive Education Project came to be to help spread information about the law, the rights of parents, and to normalize the conversation around special education
What the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act) provides as a federal law and how state laws can vary widely
Where parents can begin when an IEP is first put in place
Why it’s frustrating from a parent’s perspective to understand 504s and IEPs
Recommended resources to help parents prepare for IEP meetings and understand the law and their rights: www.wrightslaw.com and www.inclusiveeducationproject.org
A rundown of parents’ rights in requesting frequent updates, identifying accommodations that work best, and requesting additions to the IEP
What issues parents might face that would signal that the help of a special education attorney is needed
Vickie’s advice to parents: “Trust your gut. You are the expert on your child.”
