It’s back-to-school season, and with that comes IEPs, IPRC, 504s, and education plans! If the terms or process are confusing and frustrating, we have covered you in this week’s podcast with Mark Courtepatte – one of the most popular Insider Experts in our CKS Coaching Program. But you don’t have to be in the program now to hear his expertise!
We talk about how Mark met Savanna, his partner who has FASD, how they became involved with the Hamilton Parents and Caregivers Support group that he co-chair, and how his interest in the education sector developed.
This episode is full of insight on how to work collaboratively with teachers and the school board. Mark is just as comfortable talking to the Minister of Children and Community Services as he is too overwhelmed by caregivers or children with FASD. You will find out why he thinks 99% of IEPs are not worth the paper they are written and gives you some concrete steps to follow from being confused and not sure how to proceed to become the confident advocate for your child. He provides some suggested rebuttals to resistance and gives you a gauge to know if the plan is working. You are going to find out why his workshops are one of the most popular in our CKS program.
