Special Education Boss® with Karen Mayer Cunningham
Ask the Advocate: IEP Data, 504 vs IEP, Behavior, RTI, and Comp Time Q&A
What do you do when the school’s “data” makes no sense, your child is stuck on a 504 instead of an IEP, or behavior is being blamed on your student instead of addressed in the plan? In this Ask the Advocate episode, Karen Mayer Cunningham, The Special Education Boss®, is answering rapid-fire questions from parents, teachers, and paras who are in the thick of it every day.
All with humor, straight talk, and a whole lot of “you’re not crazy for asking.”
