IEPs, 504s, and What Moms Wish They Knew Sooner

Realizing your child might need extra support at school can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not even sure what the next step is. Lisa, Emilie Campbell, Julie Suazo, and Michelle Love-Day talk through what an IEP actually looks like, how it’s different from a 504 plan, and what it means to work with your child’s school instead of feeling like you have to figure it out alone. They also open up about the emotions that come with advocating for your child and remind us that needing help doesn’t mean you’ve failed--it just means you’re learning what your child needs.
