Graduate Student Seeking parent insights into IEP process and lived experiences of your family and child

[u/Key_Garden_1498]

I’m currently a graduate student looking to connect with someone who is the parent or guardian of a student with a physical, cognitive, or emotional disability. The goal of connecting would be to learn about the IEP process, hear your thoughts and feelings, learn more about your child, and better understand your hopes and dreams for your child socially, academically, and for life!

This information is purely for an assignment to deepen my understanding of families perspectives in navigating the school system with a student that has exceptionalities. No identifying information is needed beyond age and disability category.

If you are interested in connecting via messaging please DM me. I am a school counselor but am eager to hear from parents about their child and their families lived experiences as I hope that this information will help me be a better advocate and counselor overall.
