Friends, last February we (Heather & Josh!) had an unscripted conversation about challenges with IEP’s and what the best setting for Macy’s education would look like. They say a lot can happen in a year, and when it comes to school, that’s an understatement. We’re talking about Macy’s journey in the last year, from a Charter school program and ultimately her decision to return to a life skills program. The importance of seeking advice, but most importantly, following our kid's lead, and asking what they want. If you’re feeling the exhaustion of fighting for a space where your kid feels belonging, we see you, you’re not alone. Join us for another unscripted conversation about inclusion in our schools, how it's worked (and not worked) for our kids the last year, and so much more! Be sure to let us know your thoughts, feelings, and experiences after listening to this episode.
