IEP meetings can get very emotional. It can be hard to sit in a room full of teachers and talk about your child’s needs. Sometimes, these meetings can feel overwhelming, like everyone just wants to discuss what’s wrong with your child.

And one important way to prepare is to get yourself ready emotionally. On this episode of Understood Explains , guest host Claudia Rinaldi shares some tips for making this process less stressful, and what to do if big feelings come up during the meeting.

IEPs: English language learners and IEPs 13:35

منذ 40 weeks13:35

13:35

Many kids in the U.S. are learning English as an additional language. For some, it may be their second, third, or fourth language. Their English skills can vary widely, too. Some kids may speak conversational English and need to learn academic words, like “add” and “subtract.” And others may be learning a lot of words in English and in their home language at the same time. So there can be a lot of different starting points for what some schools call English language learners or multilingual learners. As a parent, it can be hard to tell if you’re seeing common challenges that come with learning a new language. Or if you're seeing signs of a learning difference, like dyslexia or ADHD. Fortunately, schools can help in both of these areas. And part of that help could include an IEP, or Individualized Education Program. On this episode of Understood Explains , host Juliana Urtubey will share how. For more resources, including a transcript formatted for easy skimming, visit the episode page on Understood.
