When Your IEP and Sec 504 Plans Aren’t Working

from Attention Talk Radio · host Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC, CPCC, ACG

Let’s face it!  It’s a one-size-fits-all world.  Thus, when you’ve seen one person with ADHD, you have seen them all; right? In a perfect world, politicians would execute what they promised and schools would treat ADDers as if they were each unique.  The fact of the matter is that limited resources and other demands result in one-size-fits-all generic accommodations.  Clearly they work!  Ever hear of a school calling for an IEP or Sec 504 reassessment meeting?  Typically not.  When the plan isn’t working, you would expect the school to call a meeting with the parents to discuss reworking the plan, but this isn’t the case.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, expert Dr. Jeffrey Katz engages in an open and frank discussion about the nature of schools, the value of an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE), and his personal strategy to help parents manage schools for the practical outcome they seek.  Co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken give Dr. Katz an open forum to educate and empower you and give you a sense of what to expect.  After our interview, stay tuned for some unplugged excerpts from our pre-interview with Dr. Katz.
