There is so much more to special education than what you remember from school. 

Here to share more about how special education programs can help students with a range of learning difficulties is Caitlin McLarnon. Caitlin is a nationally certified school psychologist who has spent the majority of her career at the elementary level in Connecticut but has also worked in New York City with children of all ages. In addition to running special education meetings, she has also been on the other side of the table as a parent, as her oldest had an IEP.

This episode will teach you everything there is to know about the special education system, how you can advocate for your child, and much more.

In this episode, we discuss: 

What is tiered instruction? 

Different types of intervention plans and what they entail. 

What to do if you feel your child has an auditory or visual processing concern.

How a planning and placement team meeting will set you and your child up for success.
