Today April Rehrig, creator of Rise Educational Advocacy, joins me on The OT Corner with Mrs. K to talk about building a better IEP. April is a highly experienced educational advocate who has been working in the field for over 20 years. With experience as a teacher, school psychologist and mother, she has a deep understanding of the challenges that families face when navigating the educational system and is committed to helping them overcome these challenges. April has worked with families from diverse backgrounds and has helped them to secure the appropriate services and accommodations for their children. Developing a strong IEP can be challenging for students and families. Common challenges include a lack of understanding of the process, difficulty in communicating with school personnel, and a lack of knowledge about available services and accommodations. April helps families navigate the IEP process by providing guidance on the process, reviewing educational records, and advocating for appropriate accommodations and services. Empowering parents and students in the IEP process is crucial for ensuring that their rights are protected and that their unique learning needs are being met. April's success stories demonstrate the positive impact of educational advocacy services and the importance of empowering parents and students in the IEP process.
