Episode 233
Tuesday, 29 April, 2025
In this episode of the Collaborative IEP Podcast, I’m diving into Section 1415 of the IDEA—the part of the law that lays out procedural safeguards. These protections are game-changers for families, offering critical rights that help level the playing field in special education. I’m sharing why I care so deeply about these safeguards, breaking down what they mean, how they work, and why they matter.We’ll talk about things like your right to prior written notice, your role in meetings about your child, and how you can request an independent educational evaluation. I’m also excited to introduce something new—a retainer fee agreement created to offer consistent support to parents all school year long.Join me as we unpack these powerful tools that are here to protect and empower you and your child every step of the way.00:00 Introduction and Recap00:22 Diving into Section 1415: Procedural Safeguards01:00 Personal Journey into Special Education Law04:59 Exciting New Project Announcement10:01 Overview of Section 141515:13 Detailed Breakdown of Procedural Safeguards27:39 Conclusion and Next Steps
