If you\u2019ve been around here long enough, you know how much I preach communication on IEP teams! I really think communication is the key to collaboration. In today\u2019s episode we go through four communication strategies that I have my clients and students use to improve IEP team collaboration. \r\n\n \r\n\nWe talk about emails that I recommend families send every Sunday night to describe a child\u2019s experiences and interests, as well as any concerns that the family might have. I also discuss another email that I recommend sending at the beginning of the school year to catch the school team up on the child\u2019s summer experiences, any changes to his or her profile, and anything else of interest. Then, I talk about small monthly gifts \u2013 like apples or chocolate - that many of my clients and student send to their school team to just say, \u201cHey, I see you. I\u2019m happy we\u2019re on the same team!\u201d Finally, I will explain how an All About Me Book can help to increase collaboration with the members of an IEP team in addition to other school personnel. \r\n\n \r\n\nFREEBIES MENTIONED: \n\u27f6 All About Me Books: https://ashleybarlowco.com/all-about-me-books\n\u27f6 Preparing for an IEP Meeting: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f91d534fe39018fde23ba86\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/47f06512-e179-402a-b337-42de8a83d394/8652091-1599164556720-78131d67c4efc.jpg"}
