Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's practical episode with April Rehrig. She's going to talk about strengths-based IEPs. Have you even heard of that? I don't think I'd ever heard of it until recently. It's an IEP that looks at abilities as well as weaknesses. It looks at what students CAN do, what the team wants them to do next, and how strengths might be used to set goals to help address a particular need.
April is a repeat guest because we love her and appreciate her. She's the founder of Rise Educational Advocacy and Consulting. She has over 20 years of experience as a school psychologist, teacher, and parent in the public school setting. With her, build a better IEP curriculum. April teaches parents and teachers nationwide how to successfully navigate special education from a strength based perspective.
When not passionately advocating for inclusive education, April keeps busy with her adorable pug Luna, her husband, three sons, and four stepchildren in Los Angeles, California. We really hope you get a ton out of this episode!
