Recently, PPMD’s Alexis Hazlett was joined by panelists Jodi Krause (Colorado Children’s Hospital), Jill Castle, and Patrick Moeschen to discuss advocating for your child throughout the school year.
The speakers dove into the differences between IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) and 504 plans, understanding your child’s educational rights, and shared tips to enhance communication and working with your child’s school.
Panelists shared real-life examples of accommodations to consider, potential goals to include in an IEP, along with strategies that parents have used over the years to ensure their child has a safe, happy, and successful school year!
