206. What the IEP Is Not Telling You - A Special Ed Insider Breaks It Down (with Dr. Diana Fannon)
May 19, 2026
The IEP meeting is supposed to be about your child. Have you noticed that it often feels like it's about everyone else’s comfort?
Dr. Diana Fannon spent 24 years inside public school systems as a bilingual school psychologist and director of special education. She now works with families. And in this podcast, she shares with us a few red and green flags of special education.
🎙️ Tune in to this episode to learn: 👇
-
Why "inclusive" school districts still often segregate kids with disabilities - and the one red flag that tells you immediately
-
The difference between a goal written for your child vs. a goal written for the teacher's comfort
-
Where in the IEP you can actually write instructions for the teacher not just the student
-
Why Universal Design for Learning saves teacher time instead of adding to it
etc.
The “system” unfortunately was not built to find your child's intelligence. That's our job. Follow for more!
