This week on the Autism Little Learners Podcast, I’m resharing one of my favorite episodes with Destiny Huff — and trust me, if you missed it the first time, now’s your chance to tune in!
We dive into all things IEPs — with a focus on accommodations and modifications that are truly neurodiversity-affirming. I know so many of us are working hard to write IEPs that are strengths-based and aligned with our values. This conversation will leave you inspired and more confident in doing just that.
Destiny also shares such powerful insight about partnering with advocates. Instead of viewing them as adversaries, how can we team up and work toward shared goals? 🙌 This replay is full of real talk and practical takeaways.
Topics We Cover: • Accommodations vs modifications on IEPs
• Examples of ND-affirming accommodations
• Challenging behavior: FBA’s vs. accommodations
• How to find out what a child responds to best at home
• Viewing advocates as allies, not adversaries
