In this episode of the All Things SLP Podcast, we’re covering two essential things every speech-language pathologist should bring to an IEP meeting to build stronger parent relationships, improve collaboration, and feel more confident at the table.

You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Lead with strengths while still presenting required data
✔️ Support parents with clear, jargon-free communication
✔️ Use simple speech therapy handouts to increase understanding and carryover
✔️ Help teachers stay aligned with speech goals

Whether you're a school-based SLP, private practice SLP, or new clinician navigating IEP meetings, these practical strategies will help you create a more positive, supportive experience for everyone involved.

If you’ve ever left an IEP wondering if it truly landed — this episode is for you.
