Where Advocacy, Special Needs Parenting, & Life Collide
IEP Success Kit – Giving IEP Knowledge for Christmas!
Special Education Advisor’s IEP Success Kit Great for Giving!
When I reviewed the physical copy of the IEP Success Kit I awarded it the A+ Cup of Excellence – it was just that amazing a resource for parents of children with special needs.
Parents of children with special needs are usually old hand at going to case conferences, but knowing all the various IDEA and local special education legislation can seem impossible, if not at least daunting for even the most prepared parent.
Enter the IEP Success Kit, which not only helps educate parents as to theirs and their child’s rights, but also helps them organize it all.
I thought the kit was the perfect gift to offer Cafe readers as a Christmas idea. And since it’s available for download it’s the perfect last-minute gift as well!
One lucky Cafe reader doesn’t have to purchase the electronic version, though, they can win it!

I'm a special needs parent before just about everything else in life, but also a passionate advocate for my three boys and husband, who all have a bit of awesomeness about them. Awesomeness = Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome, Autism, Epilepsy, Dyslexia, Cerebral Palsy, and more. It all adds up to some awesome kids and an amazing family.

I have 2 children who receive Special Education Services and boy, have we ever had to fight tooth and nail every step of the way. I have attended multiple training sessions from our Parent Training Center, Wrightslaw, and even Partners in Policymaking. I have also filed an OCR Complaint which was found in my favor. While I am getting better, going into an IEP meeting still feels like a daunting experience, yet for some reason some of my friends call on ME to help them as well (and I do my best). I really think this resource could really help me organize my documentation and better advocate for my children and other families that I help. *crossing my fingers*
Would love this info to help advocate for my daughter as the school also puts up a good fight. I need to arm myself with more information and good organization to go into my monthly meetings with a plan and continue forward making sure my child has every right that everyone else does..I don’t win anything so I’m not holding my breath but it would be nice to win this…good luck to everyone!
