What happens when an experienced behavior analyst becomes a parent navigating his own child’s IEP journey? In this heartfelt conversation, Flor sits down with Ronald Mazik to explore how professional insight meets personal experience. Together, they unpack dyslexia, dysgraphia, functional behavior assessments (FBAs), and the emotional balance between being an advocate and a parent.
In this episode:
- Early signs of dyslexia and dysgraphia parents should look for
- How to document and request testing or an FBA effectively
- The difference between good and bad FBAs
- What collaboration between parents and schools should really look like
- Why advocacy and empathy go hand in hand
Gain practical insight from both sides of the IEP table, “professional and personal”, and discover how understanding, patience, and teamwork can truly change a child’s educational path.
