IEPs aren’t just about grades! In this episode of The Special Ed Strategist, host Wendy Taylor breaks down how IEPs can – and should – support non-academic needs, including social-emotional skills, executive function, behavior, life skills, and related services like OT, speech, and counseling. Learn how to request functional performance evaluations, craft SMART goals, and advocate for accommodations that ensure your child’s success beyond the classroom. Wendy shares key advocacy strategies and the exact language you can use in IEP meetings to push for the support your child deserves.
