160. The IEP Trap: Why Progress Isn’t an Excuse to Cut Support
Manage episode 473367019 series 2997127
My blood boils every time I see it—the IEP trap. It usually shows up as a proud post from an autism parent:
“My child is doing so well that the school reduced their IEP support!”
Sounds like progress, right? Wrong.
The harsh reality is this: a child’s progress is not a reason to remove supports—it’s proof that those supports are working. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- What the IEP trap really is.
- The real reasons it happens.
- What you can do to protect your child’s services and mental health.
If you’ve ever been told your child’s progress means they don’t need as much help, this episode is for you. Tune in and get the clarity you need to keep advocating for your child’s true needs.
