In this episode, Stephanie breaks down one of the biggest questions in special education: how does a student actually get an IEP? She explains what begins the process, what signs to look for, and what happens during and after the evaluation.

Whether you are a teacher noticing ongoing challenges or a parent wondering if your child needs extra support, Stephanie walks through the path from concern to services in a clear and practical way.

Here’s what Stephanie covers in today's episode:

• Why a student might be referred for special education

• What signs could indicate the need for an evaluation

• What happens during the evaluation process

• How eligibility for services is determined under IDEA

• What happens if a student qualifies or if they do not

Stephanie reminds listeners that special education is not about labeling but about support. If this episode brings clarity, share it with another teacher or parent who needs it. Listen in to learn how a student gets from concern to an IEP and why understanding this process matters.
