This episode came out a week late due to some hosting issues, our apologies!

This week we take a look at "Compensetory Services", that is, services that need to be done because appropriate services were not provided. We dive in to when to ask for them, why they're given, and general information about how you can go about making sure your child is receiving the services outlined in their IEP
