    Today, I emphasize the importance of acknowledging our 'perfectly imperfect' lives, especially during the busy IEP season. I share exciting news about my summer consulting offerings at a discount, explaining how this helps me manage the seasonal nature of my work and prepare for the fall intake. If you need help making strong cases for inclusive services or specific curricula, I'm here to assist starting this summer. Let's tackle our to-dos together and hit the ground running before the new school year begins. Then, I’ll dive into the end of Section 1415, finishing up procedural safeguards. These provisions have a lot of critically important help for parents and are something you won’t want to miss. As always, I try to add my insights and experiences to help make it all make sense!
