An IEP is in effect from the first day of school — but your child’s services may not be delivered according to plan. Here's how to walk in prepared, including the short email to send before day one and what to watch for in the first two weeks

Summer is here, but if your child qualifies for Extended School Year (ESY) services, those services are a legal entitlement, not a courtesy. This post walks parents through what ESY is supposed to look like, how to confirm it's actually happening, and the steps to take the moment a session gets quietly skipped. The goal is to help parents act now, while the summer is still salvageable, instead of finding out in September that two months were lost.
