298. What’s going on with the Department of Education? (Part 2 w/Ashley Barlow) 47:25

منذ 5 أيام47:25

47:25

Overwhelmed by all the news lately? Us too. That’s why Ashley Barlow (@thecollaborativeiep) is back on the show today to breakdown all of the changes to the Department of Education and the impact on students with disabilities. Here’s what we’re discussing today: Budget cuts and the impact on early learning for students with disabilities (no more Head Start program in 2026?!) Pros and cons of school choice and vouchers (What does “welfare for the rich” mean?) Action steps to make sure your child’s educational needs are met We know that many of these changes have not happened yet, but the current political attitude towards disability has us a little worried. If you’re feeling the same way, stay informed and know that we’re all in this together. SHOW NOTES Follow Ashley at @thecollaborativeiep and find her website here.

Picture this: your child with Down syndrome tells you they want to play a sport. You sign them up for the local team, drop them off at practice, and pick them up without any difficulties. Everything goes smoothly… But that’s not always reality is it? Lets break down the complexities of extracurricular activities today: How to ask for accommodations that promote safety, respect, and inclusion Separate programs designed for people with disabilities.. and what to do when they’re not as inclusive as they seem How to manage our own expectations of our children and their activities Here’s what we’ve learned: the attitude of the people in charge really matters. And if we can find programs with inclusive-minded leaders who understand our kids with DS, then that’s where we need to be. Join us today as we dive into our personal experiences (both positive and negative) with musical theater, gymnastics, and swim. And don’t forget that any program is lucky to have your child!

How many nights per week would you say your child (with or without a diagnosis) sleeps well? We asked our audience and discovered that sleep is a struggle for a LOT of us! So if you’re feeling like you’ve already tried all the online hacks but your child still wakes you up at the same time each night, this episode might have a new tip for you! Here’s what we’re covering today: What’s the biggest sleep challenge for our kids with Down syndrome? And our kids with a dual diagnosis of DS and autism? Micha’s sleep journey with her son Ace...

How has an ADHD diagnosis affected Ace and his sleep? Audience input! We’ve crowdsourced the best tips from all of you! Learn how other parents have changed their children's rooms and bedtime routines to promote better sleep. But before we dive into sleep, we’re chatting briefly about the change from Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month + the importance of centering Autistic voices in this conversation.

As we navigate this journey, we recognize the honor and burden of advocating for a more inclusive world. Progress in inclusion is happening, but are we truly championing the essence of every individual? Is the current system promoting equal access and opportunities?
