Unveiling Abilities: Rethinking IEPs and Inclusion
This week on Leta’s Tap Styles Podcast "Friend's Friday" we welcome Leanne Pritchett. Join us as we share personal anecdotes, insights from years of professional experience, and practical tips for families navigating the complex world of special education, particularly the challenges and intricacies of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).
Leanne brings a wealth of knowledge to the table from her years as both a special education teacher and an advocate. We discuss the importance of personalized approaches, understanding individual needs, and the significant role parents play in advocating for their children. Tying it back to Leta’s nonprofit, we discuss how we can take the lessons learned from implementing IEPs in schools and bring it into the dance studio world, making “inclusion” more than just a word being thrown around.
