Most of the country is off and running into another school year, and it’s a great time to reflect on where we can improve and how we can be more knowledgeable in supporting students and addressing their needs. This episode focuses on training for school staff, district staff, and parents. Today, we share part two of our interview with Andrew Goff. Part one aired at the end of the last school year and share his perspective as an early childhood teacher advocating for students at IEP meetings. If you missed part one, listen to Episode 311 here . Join us to learn more about ongoing trends in teacher training. Andrew Goff taught early childhood special education in five different least restrictive environments spanning 12 years. He is currently the lead instructor at Colorado Northwestern Community College, not far from Steamboat Springs. He wrote a memoir, Love is a Classroom , and is a fierce advocate for “inclusion–early, everywhere, and always.” Show Highlights: Andrew’s role at community colleges training in the virtual space The importance of collaboration in developing and implementing accommodations Teacher experiences and three components of curricula: indirect, direct, and temporal Thoughts about co-teaching A big root of the problem is that we aren’t educating all teachers on all the varieties of ways kids learn. All children deserve to learn equally and have their needs met. Barriers to learning—and how they show up Relationships and connections allow students to learn better! Teaching teachers to create cultures in a classroom Teachers with biases find it difficult to show up and give a child what they need.

Today’s show expands on our previous episode with Dr. Connie McReynolds in which we discussed central auditory processing deficits in kids with autism or ADHD. Even though many experts would argue that this is a medical disorder, it has profound impacts on education and certainly qualifies as an area of unique need for many children. Join us to learn more! Show Highlights: Common pushbacks from school districts and characteristics of CAPD (central auditory processing disorder) Children with CAPD will typically “hear” with no difficulty, but information processing is deficient. Digging into the underlying root causes of processing issues requires proper assessments and evaluations. The dangers of an early misdiagnosis Typical signs that a child should see an audiologist Strategies that are helpful for kids with CAPD IEPs, accommodations, and services may not bring improvement if they don’t target the specific issues with CAPD.

Welcome! 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. Show Highlights: Tim’s recent high-profile case: Irvine Unified School District V. Landers and Gagliano The money side of this case (what the school district spent on litigation—over $1.1 million) The point of the recent Wall Street Journal article highlighting this case The facts: what parents and their attorneys are asking for in intervention and services is a drop in the bucket compared to what is spent in litigation Tim’s perspective on how often school districts are appealing court decisions Why this case has been a “win at all costs” endeavor for the school district Digging deeper into the argument that this case was a pushback attempt at anything jeopardizing the school district’s control, such as school choice, privatization, charter schools, etc. Tim’s decision-making process on which cases to appeal Why there will be many COVID cases in litigation for years to come The toll that a litigation process takes on families Links/Resources: Connect with Tim Adams: Website , LinkedIn , and Facebook Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org Thank you for listening!

We are joined today by a special guest, Michael Hingson, host of the Unstoppable Mindset podcast . We have shared a lot of time on each other’s podcasts and learned a lot from Michael’s perspective on special education, especially what he experienced in the very early days of special ed. Join us to learn more about Michael’s life and work! Michael Hingson has a unique story. With a master’s degree in physics, Mike is an educator, best-selling author, inspirational speaker, and disability advocate–and he is blind and a 9/11 World Trade Center survivor. When his premature birth called for a pure oxygen environment, his retinas were irreparably damaged, and he has been blind ever since. His parents were urged to institutionalize him because “no blind child can ever amount to anything or contribute to society”---or so the doctors said. His parents refused and gave him every chance to learn, sending him to public schools throughout his life. He earned his physics degree and secondary education teacher credential, going on to become an accomplished salesman and sales manager. He is a coveted keynote speaker and the author of the bestseller, Thunder Dog : The Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust. Show Highlights: Mike’s story: science, sales, the early days of disability law, and a life of advocacy Michael’s learning process with guide dogs and white canes Michael’s 9/11 experience at the World Trade Center which led to his book, Thunder Dog “Disability does not mean a lack of ability.” We will have Mike back very soon for Part 2 of this conversation, in which we will discuss his involvement in technology development to help many people with disabilities of all kinds.

We welcome James Lange to the podcast to share his practical insights and expertise. James Lange is a CPA, a state attorney in Pennsylvania, and the author of nine best-selling financial books.

He explains how he and his wife are providing for their daughter’s future and what parents of a disabled child should do right now to ensure the financial future of their child. Show Highlights: James’ plan to provide for his daughter for the rest of her life James’ mission to help parents of children with disabilities optimize their financial assets Three steps to take right now for your disabled child: Get your child qualified for government benefits in the SSI or SSDI.

We are taking a summer break for July to soak up a little summer fun with our families, so we are replaying some of our most popular episodes that are packed with information and inspiration. We will be back in August with new episodes to prepare us for the 2024-2025 school year. Today’s replay first aired a few weeks ago during Mental Health Awareness Month. Maria Barrera helps us understand the need for a more comprehensive and relevant curriculum focused on skill-building and emotional awareness instead of reacting to students’ mental health needs “after the fact.” Doesn’t it make more sense to support “mental wellness” than to simply address “mental illness”? That’s the idea behind Clayful ! Join us to learn more! Maria Barrera is the founder and CEO of Clayful , a company that began as a way to address the mental health crisis in a more preventative way. Clayful offers supportive tools and resources to help students become more resilient and emotionally aware before they get to their breaking point. Maria is committed to addressing the youth mental health crisis, and her dedication to training a diverse mental health workforce and establishing partnerships with schools have impacted thousands of students across the country. Show Highlights: The need for more targeted interventions and skill-building in schools The origins of Clayful to address students’ needs during the pandemic The challenge in supporting students with behavior regulation issues Labels and language have POWER! The gist of CA Assembly Bill 2173: to change the language from “emotional disturbance” to “emotional disability” Clayful ’s work in destigmatizing the need for emotional support Clayful allows students to connect with a coach every week to develop a “protective layer.” The mental health crisis is here!

We promised you a Part 2 with Michael Hingson—and here it is! We don’t always get the opportunity to follow up a guest interview with a second part, and that’s why we are thrilled to bring you more of Michael’s inspiring story and his important work in the field of accessibility. Michael first joined us last May for an episode titled, “Approaching Life with an Unstoppable Mindset.” (Click here to listen!) Michael Hingson has a fascinating life story. With a master’s degree in physics, he is an educator, best-selling author, inspirational speaker, and disability advocate—and he is blind and a 9/11 World Trade Center survivor. When his premature birth called for a pure oxygen environment, his retinas were irreparably damaged, and he has been blind ever since. His parents were urged to institutionalize him because “no blind child can ever amount to anything or contribute to society”---or so the doctors said. His parents refused and gave Michael every chance to learn as any other child, sending him to public schools throughout his life and demanding that he adapt to his disability to live an independent life. He earned his physics degree and secondary education teacher credential, going on to become an accomplished salesman and sales manager. He is a coveted keynote speaker, author of Thunder Dog: The Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust , and host of the Unstoppable Mindset podcast . Show Highlights: Diversity, inclusion, and disability (According to the CDC, 25% of Americans have some sort of disability.) Why we don’t talk about disability Fear can be a powerful tool to focus us when we feel blinded, paralyzed, or overwhelmed. Michael’s next book (August 2024), Live Like a Guide Dog: True Stories from a Blind Man and His Dogs about Being Brave, Overcoming Adversity, and Walking in Faith Michael’s work with AccessiBe to advance accessibility with AI technology Accessibility technologies for those with cognitive disabilities, ADHD, etc. Changing the thinking around disability and “visual impairment” A glimpse into Michael’s full life today: traveling, speaking, podcasting, and working tirelessly to advance accessibility for everyone Links/Resources: Connect with Michael Hingson: Website , Thunder Dog book, Live Like a Guide Dog book, and the Unstoppable Mindset podcast .

Today’s episode is Part 2 of our conversation with Santanna Ficken, a mental health practitioner who proudly identifies as a disabled, autistic/ADHDer with multiple neurodivergencies. Santanna is a passionate advocate with MnNEAT (Minnesota Neurodivergent Education, Advocacy, and Therapy Services), which focuses on building trust and relationships in the neurodivergent community while advocating for social justice for all disabled people. Today’s episode is focused on how IEPs can be improved to be neurodiversity-affirming. Join us to learn more! Show Highlights: Understanding what it means to be neurodiversity-affirming IEPs for neurodiverse students should respect autonomy, validate differences, assume competence, adjust expectations, encourage self-advocacy, adapt to systems/environments, and honor ALL forms of communication. The goal in IEPs should NOT be to change or “fix” the student! Examples of trauma for students caused by the IEP Santanna’s experience in school as a neurodivergent student The process of rewriting IEPs to be neurodiversity-affirming IEP data misses a lot of relevant information about the student’s experience.

We are honored to visit again with Dr. Alexander Tan to discuss the integrity of evaluations and assessments of English-language learners. This topic aligns perfectly with our goal of helping all parents better understand the IEP process. Are we providing culturally- and linguistically-responsible evaluations? Do parents of different cultural backgrounds understand the numbers and data that we are using? Join us to learn more in today’s episode! Dr. Alexander Tan is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and supervisor at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). His expertise is in the assessment of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. He is an internationally recognized expert and frequent speaker about topics such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental health. He recently joined us for Episode 310 : A Holistic View of Language and Cultural Context. Show Highlights: Dr. Tan’s role in the assessment process: to inform and educate the parents The value of conversations in context to equip and empower the parents Cultural and language differences can impact the integrity of assessments at the most foundational levels. The feedback session is the most important part of any evaluation. A holistic perspective of contributing factors and inconsistencies in evaluations is essential. The overriding question in my role is, “Are we as evaluators painting an accurate picture of this student and their needs?” Dr. Tan emphasizes the four major guidelines in test/evaluation fairness for diverse populations: maximizing comfort in evaluations, minimizing biases in tests and test items, maximizing accessibility in testing, and maximizing the validity of our interpretations Links/Resources: Connect with Dr. Alexander Tan: Website Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org Thank you for listening!

We are pivoting from our normal education-centric topics today to take a broader view of the financial side of raising a child with a disability. We want to make sure that families, and people working with these families, have all the resources and tools for a well-rounded toolkit for supporting their kids. We welcome James Lange to the podcast to share his practical insights and expertise. James Lange is a CPA, a state attorney in Pennsylvania, and the author of nine best-selling financial books. He is a nationally recognized IRA, 401(k), and retirement plan distribution expert. As a result of his daughter’s disability, James developed a passion for helping parents who need to provide sufficient care for a disabled child even beyond their own lifetime. He explains how he and his wife are providing for their daughter’s future and what parents of a disabled child should do right now to ensure the financial future of their child. Show Highlights: James’ plan to provide for his daughter for the rest of her life James’ mission to help parents of children with disabilities optimize their financial assets Three steps to take right now for your disabled child: Get your child qualified for government benefits in the SSI or SSDI. (James explains the #1 mistake most parents make in applying for these benefits.) Get your estate planning done appropriately with the proper trust or conservatorship option. (Don’t rely on “Joe Schmo Attorney” for this!) Get the Roth IRA conversion strategy done right by a financial professional. (The difference in doing this correctly and incorrectly can amount to a huge difference in available funds for your child.)

Today’s episode is Part 2 to our recent solo episode about English language learners. We are focusing on the bigger picture of language as only one part of a child’s entire cultural context affecting performance on all educational and neuropsychological evaluations.

Today's show is a replay of a very popular and informative episode that we hope you'll enjoy. Today’s topic has popped up recently in some of our cases, and it’s an important one to cover because it is under-supported and often overlooked in the IEP world. We are discussing the ELL designation, which stands for “English Language Learner.” Join us to learn when a child should be designated as an ELL, how things should progress from there, and what the school district’s obligations are when that designation is given. Show Highlights: A student’s ethnicity can prompt false assumptions that come with an ELL designation (which can mean different things in different cases). Understanding the differences in an ELL designation, an ESL designation, and a dual immersion program A student’s language proficiency impacts their ability to learn in different environments–and the IEP should reflect this fact. A student’s primary language can have unique nuances that are very different from English, which greatly affects testing, evaluations, and assessments. Considerations about inherent racial bias in assessments–and why they should be done in a student’s native language Links/Resources: Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org Thank you for listening!
