29 NOV. 2018 · In the first episode of this new podcast, I discuss special education with past school committee member and experienced special needs mother, Stacey Jackson. We go in-depth on Stacey's hands-on experience advocating for her daughter, from early intervention to high school and beyond, her experience with mediation, working with your child's IEP team collaboratively for a successful inclusion as well as alternative placements. Stacey also provides us with an inside look at the often misunderstood budget for all education, including special education; limitations as well as successes within a rather large regional school district and how working to find solutions t is not only helpful for all involved but cost-effective.
