ENCORE: Live from the BOOST Conference!

Inclusive Education Project (IEP) Podcast

Today’s episode is a replay of our session at the BOOST Conference from a few months ago. It relates specifically to next week’s conversation, which is the reason we want to air it again. This episode was also featured as an encore episode over the summer. Enjoy!

We loved having the opportunity to speak at the BOOST Conference about our podcast, the IEP system, and special education in general. The BOOST Conference is an annual event to inspire youth, learning, and change. Many different educational professionals attend the conference in Palm Springs, California, to participate in classes, workshops, networking events, and to explore the latest in technology and innovation related to education. Join us to hear this live presentation and the Q & A session!

Show Highlights:

• An overview of the IEP podcast
• What is an IEP? What are IEP meetings?
• The importance of collaboration in the entire IEP process
• Individualization, not comparison, is most helpful in the IEP process.
• The vital need for parents to talk to the teachers before the IEP meeting
• 95% of the conflict in IEP meetings is due to a breakdown in communication.
• Vickie and Amanda field questions from the audience about IDEA provisions for school-sponsored events, supporting students with extreme behaviors, and expanded learning programs in the IEP process.
