The IEP meeting is supposed to be about your child. Have you noticed that it often feels like it's about everyone else's comfort?

Dr. Diana Fannon spent 24 years inside public school systems as a bilingual school psychologist and director of special education. She now works with families. And in this podcast, she shares with us a few red and green flags of special education.
