You’re familiar with that game because an IEP meeting and the game of Lucy & the football have a lot in common.
When you thought everything was in place - Wham!
Lucy holds it perfectly in place; her finger at the tip of the ball. Charlie charges down the field; eye firmly on the ball.
Charley wants to kick that football. I mean he really wants to kick it.
But just as he draws back his kicking leg and starts to transfer the force into the kick, Lucy snatches the ball away — Charlie does a half-gainer and lands flat on his back on the ground.
Lucy never did explain why.
We can imagine she might have said.
-
Holding the ball any longer is against policy -
-
We held the ball. It was up to you kick it before time ran out -
-
Your on the second team. You don’t qualify for the best ball holding.
Sound familiar?
Just when you thought you had everything in place, your IEP meeting all planned, and a draft IEP in your hand, the school district pulls what you thought you had right out from under you.
How do you stop this game?
By dealing with the school with a velvet hammer. It’s a whole new level of advanced IEP advocacy built on a solid foundation of ethical and practical IEP tactics and strategies.
The good news is that you will not have to pack your bags and trudge off to yet another weekend Special Education workshop to learn how to do it.
How does it work? You and I will work one-on-one together by telephone and the Internet.
Is this method revolutionary? No. Here’s the story behind this strong advocacy strategy.
So that’s the good news.
What’s the bad news?
There is no bad news; No hourly fees, no hidden costs, no surprises.
I’ll admit this service is not for everyone. It is intended for parents who are facing tough issues with a noncompliant school district. That’s why it comes with a promise: Within two-weeks of engaging me, I will return every penny you paid to begin this service if you don’t think it is what you need. No questions asked.
