Today we are joined by the ever-amazing Karin Walsh who shares with us her unique insight and approach to bridging the gap between the medical and educational models of supporting our students. You’ll take away a ton of good ideas, guidance, and most of all resources to further help you approach the IEP table.



🔑 Key Takeaways:

The difference between Educational & Medical:



  • Trust Your Instincts: Asl questions. Follow up. Be proactive in your child’s support and trust your gut feeling as you go through assessments and the IEP process.

  • Medical Teams In The IEP: You can include medical professionals at the IEP table. Made easier these days with virtual meeting options.

  • Understand Your Report: Reports from medical professionals can be long. Make sure you read everything and ask questions about what you do not understand. This can change how accommodations look for your student.
