Early intervention involves identifying and addressing developmental or behavioral challenges at the earliest stages. By acting early, we can provide critical support, promote healthy development, and improve long-term outcomes. #EarlyIntervention #ChildDevelopment #EarlySupport #Autism #ADHD #BehaviorTherapy

Today’s episode takes a big-picture view of what’s going on in education with our taxpayer dollars and how we can educate more parents about their general rights in advocating for their children. We use a recent California case as an example of how things can go so wrong–and cost millions of dollars–in special education law. Tim Adams has been in law practice for over 23 years after working as a lay advocate in the special education legal clinic at the Pepperdine Law School. As president and CEO of the disability rights law firm Adams & Associates, Tim has worked with numerous families to help them advocate for their children and has firsthand experience in this role because of his younger brother with special needs. He sees his career as a special education attorney as a unique opportunity to help and support families. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/guNwkPM3

It's a tricky situation when a child doesn't want to follow their own IEP. Make note of every time an accommodation is offered and if the child refused it. Try to get answers out of the child as to why they are refusing. It's worth noting that some kids may find accommodations embarrassing and not want to draw attention to themselves or be seen as different. Bring up any documentation and notes on accommodation refusal to the next IEP meeting and discuss alternative accommodations that may work to fit the original goal. Bring the child in, if possible, to advocate for themselves and explain their reasoning. #iep #504plan #iepgoals #iepresources #ieptips #specialeducation #specialed #specialeducationteacher #inclusiveclassroom #inclusiveeducation #accommodations #neurodiverse #civilrightsattorney #specialeducationlaw
