Dr. Nechama Sorscher is back to help us better advocate for our kids at schoolLife as the parent of a neurodivergent child is already overwhelming… but now we’re back at school!
Are you ready for the IEP/504 meetings where we’ll make decisions that impact your child’s entire school year?!
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Report, we’re talking candidly about the challenges and opportunities that arise when advocating for your child’s education.
From identifying early developmental indicators to understanding the difference between IEPs and 504 plans, this conversation shines a light on what parents need to know — so they can walk into the school feeling more confident and empowered.
And if you’re an educator or administrator, we didn’t leave you out! Community support makes all the difference, and the evolving science of neurodiversity is always strengthening our advocacy efforts.
Curious about what’s inside?
✨ How early should parents bring up developmental concerns at the doctor?
✨ IEPs vs. 504 plans — and what parents should really know
✨ The role of emotional well-being and movement breaks in learning
✨ How advocacy can lead to better outcomes — with or without legal help
✨ Shifting perceptions of autism in media and schools
✨ Why teachers need better training in brain development & neurodiversity
This episode is a reminder that advocacy isn’t about getting through the meeting… it’s about opening a written line of legal communication with the school team.
However you’re able to engage, thank you for being here.
With love,
Sarah 💜
