Special Needs Help In School
The month of September is all about how to help your child have optimum success in school. This podcast is the first of three in help for issues in school.
What is an IEP or a 504 plan, and how can you qualify for one?
Have you ever run into confusion and needed help with your child’s special needs at school? This is all too common, but we have solutions for you. In this video podcast interview with special ed expert Bonnie Landau, you will learn: What is an IEP or a 504 plan, and how you can qualify for one. How to know when to seek a school advocate and how to find one. What is the school’s special education profile? How can a parent request an evaluation for issues the child has? What can a parent do if the school says, “no” to doing an evaluation? If they do the evaluation, how do they determine if the child is eligible for services? Why is it important to put everything in writing?

This is for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat. Every child’s level of recovery is different. No two people are the same. It is never implied that all children will have the same outcome. Results are all based on individual biology and the work that is done. This process takes time and various steps, effort and resources need to be weighed. Our programs are intended to help you become more knowledgeable and guide you to help bring your child a better quality of life, whatever that may be. We want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or guarantee of results or future outcomes. The results on this page and any of our websites are not typical or promised. In fact, there will be people who purchase this and other programs and never put the work into implementing the strategies taught and therefore will achieve little to no results.
