She explains why concerns about privacy, content theft, environmental costs, and inaccurate information matter to families navigating IEPs.Lisa Lightner also challenges the idea that ChatGPT can replace an advocate.

When your child has only a limited number of school years, Lisa Lightner argues, there’s no room to waste time on bad advice or shortcuts.Don't IEP Alone with Lisa Lightner, Special Education Advocate Thank you for listening to this episode of Don't IEP Alone.
