IEP, OMG!
Support & Advocacy for the 504 and IEP process
Home: Welcome
IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD.
​
Getting help for your kid with special needs can feel like a marathon--one in which you're wearing heavy boots, carrying 100 lbs of bricks, and running a path that's not marked.
Teachers are well-intentioned, and you know that there are things schools can do to help. You've heard about 504s or IEPs, but then the school offers an SST instead?
Listen. This is hard work. On top of your worries for your child's educational experience, you're facing gate-keepers, jargon, and a totally new process.
The IEP OMG Show and Brain Tools Advocacy are here to help! We provide support to families like yours, who are searching for better school services, accommodations, and more!
Whether you're just getting started, have hit an impasse with the school, or want a second opinion on your IEP, we've got you covered!
