Why we cry in IEP meetings

In It: Supporting Kids Who Learn and Think Differently - A podcast by Understood.org, Gretchen Vierstra, Rachel Bozek - Thursdays

On this first episode of “In It,” hosts Amanda Morin and Lexi Walters Wright dig into why emotions tend to run high in IEP meetings. They talk with comedian Dena Blizzard about her (very) public reaction to a disappointing IEP meeting. They hear from other parents who have gotten emotional when discussing the needs of their kids struggling in school. And they also connect with expert Mark Griffin, PhD, about what’s at stake during these meetings. Understood is a nonprofit and social impact organization dedicated to shaping a world where the 1 in 5 people who learn and think differently can thrive.
