    S5 Ep2: What Makes a Goal Realistic? How to Know If Your Child’s IEP Goals Are Too Easy (or Too Much)
    2025/07/08
    What does a realistic IEP goal actually look like? In this episode of our Summer Question Series, host Wendy Taylor is joined by Jackie Beach, M.Ed., founder of Rally Family Support, to unpack the “just right” goal—ambitious yet achievable. Learn how to collaborate with your school team, trust your gut, and use data (from home and school) to shape meaningful goals that support the whole child. Because goals only matter if they help your child grow.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. A good goal balances challenge with achievability—aim for growth, not shutdown.
    2. Parent-school collaboration thrives when you bring data, clarity, and curiosity to the table.
    3. Use SMART goals to guide IEP conversations and create shared expectations.

  • S5 Ep1: Summer Parent Series: What Do IEP Services Actually Look Like?

    S5 Ep1: Summer Parent Series: What Do IEP Services Actually Look Like?
    2025/06/24
    Ever stare at your child’s IEP and wonder, “What actually happens during those service minutes?” You’re not alone—and we’re breaking it down. In this kickoff to our 12-week summer series, host Wendy Taylor and co-host Jackie Beach dive into what related services like speech, OT, and behavioral support really look like in the school day. You’ll learn the difference between push-in, pull-out, and consult models—and why asking “who, where, and how” matters just as much as the number of minutes. This episode arms you with real questions, real strategies, and real confidence.

    3 Key Takeaways
    1. Service clarity matters – Ask who, what, where, why, and how your child receives related services: pull‑out, push‑in, consult.
    2. Context drives success – Understanding where and how OT, speech, and behavior services happen shapes more effective IEP planning.
    3. Collaborate purposefully – Go in informed, curious, and collaborative—alignment promotes teamwork and reduces overwhelm.

  • S4 Ep435: Dyslexia Advocacy & Assessment: How Parents Can Partner with Schools to Identify and Support Struggling Readers

    S4 Ep435: Dyslexia Advocacy & Assessment: How Parents Can Partner with Schools to Identify and Support Struggling Readers
    2025/06/17
    In this episode of The Special Ed Strategist, Wendy Taylor is joined by Jenny Ponzuric, a Licensed Educational Psychologist and certified school neuropsychologist with over two decades of experience in psychoeducational assessment. Together, they walk listeners through how to recognize early signs of dyslexia, how to advocate for meaningful school-based evaluations, and what effective intervention actually looks like—beyond just extra time and preferential seating.

    You’ll hear about the importance of asking the right questions, how to understand the difference between medical and educational definitions of dyslexia, and what it really means to collaborate with your IEP team as a data-informed parent. Whether your child is just starting to struggle with reading or already has an IEP in place, this conversation is filled with guidance, clarity, and actionable next steps.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. How to ask data-driven, strategic questions at IEP meetings
    2. What a comprehensive dyslexia evaluation should—and should not—look like
    3. Why early intervention and targeted instruction matter more than generic supports
