Live Q&A: The Heart, Humor, and Hard Truths Behind The Epic IEP

Welcome back, y’all! In this Special Education Boss® episode, we’re taking you inside our Live conversation about the launch of The Epic IEP — my brand-new, world-changing book written for parents, educators, and advocates navigating the special education process.Grab your latte and lean in as we talk about:☕️ The story behind The Epic IEP — and why it’s my love letter to every parent, teacher, and advocate sitting at the IEP or 504 table.📘 How one pandemic pivot in 2020 turned into a nationwide advocacy movement.💬 Why we must stop “agreeing to disagree” when it comes to children’s rights — and how to communicate with clarity, compassion, and conviction.🧩 What makes this book different: it’s not just what to do, but how to do it.💡 The real meaning of procedural safeguards and how missteps can permanently impact a child’s future.❤️ Stories of transformation, inclusion, and hope — from tears in the IEP meeting to life-changing outcomes for students.😂 A few bleach-blonde jokes, bins, and laughter (because we can’t do this work without a little humor).If you’ve ever left an IEP meeting frustrated, overwhelmed, or confused… this episode will remind you: you’re not alone and you’re not powerless.🎯 Get your copy of The Epic IEP today at Amazon, then head to TheEpicIEP.com to unlock over $500 in pre-order bonuses, including your free ticket to our upcoming Epic IEP Mastery Summit on February 5th.💻 Ready to learn and grow every week?Join The Epic IEP Academy — the premiere weekly professional development community for parents, educators, and advocates.👉 https://www.skool.com/special-education-academy/about📱 Follow @SpecialEducationBoss on TikTok, subscribe on YouTube, and listen to more episodes of Special Education Boss® with Karen Mayer Cunningham on Buzzsprout, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Because here’s the truth: When we get it right for the child, we get it right for everyone.
