Flipping the Script: How to Get Results at Your Child’s IEP Meeting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I share a real, behind-the-scenes look at what actually works for me in IEP meetings as both a coach and a parent to a non-speaking child.
I explore:
- The subtle power of listening before speaking—and why it can change the dynamic of your meeting
- Exact phrases I use to confidently advocate for my child’s needs
- How “flipping the script” helps you move from feeling powerless to empowered in your school district
- Ways to use evidence and gentle questioning to open doors for non-speaking students
- Practical strategies for building long-term change, not just for your child, but for the whole system
Get ready for honest insights, actionable advice, and the kind of support every autism changemaker needs for their next IEP meeting.
Autism Changemakers is a private community just for parents of nonspeaking kids. It’s where you don’t have to explain yourself, and where you’ll always be surrounded by people who believe in your child’s brilliance. If you’re craving that kind of support, come join us. https://www.autismchangemakers.com/
