À propos de ce contenu audio

IEP meetings can be some of the most emotional and high-stakes conversations a parent will ever sit through. When communication breaks down, it’s easy for frustration, defensiveness, and even self-doubt to take over.

In this episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan shares both practical communication strategies and personal reflection from recent challenging IEP meetings — including moments that made her question herself.

You’ll learn:

  • How tone and body language shape the outcome of a meeting

  • Ways to express concerns clearly without escalating conflict

  • How to separate procedural frustrations from student-centered decisions

  • Why documentation and follow-up matter

  • How to bring conversations back to what truly matters — the child

Dominique reminds listeners that legal missteps and disagreements can be addressed — but they should never overshadow the primary objective of any IEP meeting: doing what is best for the student.

💡 Key Takeaway: Collaboration starts with communication — and advocacy thrives when the child remains at the center.
