Don't IEP Alone.
Summary: I attend IEP meetings for a living and you just can't compete with that level of crazy.Warning: I've been told I have a Philly accent. I don't hear it. Also, I curse. It's something I'm working on as far as personal development. So please don't be put off. I'm trying.Inspired by her own son with disabilities, Lisa Lightner is an award-winning blogger and advocate.
