In this episode of The Special Ed Strategist, host Wendy Taylor is joined by Dr. Rebecca Fritsch, Psy.D., licensed clinical and school psychologist, to explore how parents can document their child’s strengths and challenges at home—and translate those insights into measurable IEP goals. Parents will learn how to connect observations to “educational impact,” collaborate with school teams, and empower their child’s voice in the IEP process.

Key Takeaways
  1. Document home observations using the simple frame: “When __ happens, my child __, which affects __.”
  2. Focus on educational impact: how behaviors affect learning and participation.
  3. Collaboration + student voice = stronger, more personalized IEP goals.
