Description
Welcome to Starting with IEP! I am Flor De Amelia, an Autism Mom, BCBA, IEP Coach, and SpEd Teacher. I deeply understand the IEP journey, having navigated it for my daughter for 16 years. This podcast goes beyond paperwork to demystify the process and help you confidently advocate for your child's long-term success. We feature honest conversations with parents, young adults, and insightful professionals, ensuring you feel prepared, empowered, and never alone. My mission is to help families find clarity, build confidence, and ensure their child's voice is truly heard.
