Educating the Different Learner: Dyscalculia

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/06/19

Last week we dove into the latest research on the best educational methodologies for children with dyslexia (including some methodologies that the latest research supports but have been around for over a hundred years!). This week we’re diving into a topic that is a bit more complicated, because there is WAY less research. This week we’re talking about the best methods for educating a child with dyscalculia. There may not be as much research, but there are things we do know to do and things we

IEP Tips: IEP v 504

2023/05/22

This week’s final episode stems from the position many families find themselves in of being offered a Section 504 plan when what they really wanted for their child was an IEP. We go into the differences and similarities of these two educational supports to hopefully allow families to make the decision that is best for their child!

IEP Tips: Keeping an IEP

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/05/15

Last week we went through all the steps of GETTING an IEP for your kiddo, but another common question is around how to keep the school from taking that IEP away. Every three years, the school district must determine if your child is still “eligible” for an IEP and while this brings updated information, it can also mean that the school may recommend “exiting” your child from special education/ an IEP. And that’s amazing news! Your child is doing so well that the school thinks your kiddo will be

IEP Tips: Getting an IEP

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/05/08

Many families assume that a school will recognize if their child is struggling and will assess them and put them on an IEP if that is needed, all without the parents saying anything. And, honestly, that’s how it’s supposed to work. For many children, that is exactly how it does work. However, for many other kids, their needs get brushed aside and they are never assessed, and never put onto an IEP unless a parent or guardian steps in and advocates for them. So how do you get your child an

IEP Tips: IEE

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/05/01

Sometimes, we need a second opinion. If you’re feeling that the school’s report didn’t find give you the answers you needed regarding why your child is struggling, you might need a second opinion. And the beauty of the system is that you can request an IEE that is free of charge to you. I don’t encourage the use of this option for most people, as it is a big expense to school districts and we’d probably have them use that money to actually educate our children and their teachers well.

IEP Tips: Accommodations

2023/04/24

Are Accommodations the most important part of an IEP? Last week we dove into the importance of well-written IEP goals and this week we’re going to another section of the IEP. The Accommodations section of an IEP is, for many kids, the single most important section of their IEP! For kids who are able to understand and participate in grade level content, accommodations may be the thing keeping them in a general education class all day long, feeling successful and knowing that they are rocking

IEP Tips: Goals

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/04/17

When we’re looking at IEP goals, we don’t want just an emotional impression of what we think the IEP is supposed to guide. We need it to be crystal clear so that there is no confusion as to whether or not a child met that IEP goal. Those goals need to leave no room for interpretation. If 2 different teachers both read that goal, will they use entirely different methods of measurement? If so, the results will likely be vastly different. Unfortunately, many special education teachers are never

IEP Tips: Parts of an IEP

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2023/04/10

When it comes to IEPs, knowing how to read them helps us know where to look to find the important stuff within them. An IEP document 30 years ago was 2 pages long. Now IEPs are often more than 30 pages long. They can be so large and overwhelming that many parents need help looking them over, understanding them, and knowing if the IEP is providing what their child needs. While I actually love analyzing IEPs and doing consultations with families, I also want to help everyone understand IEPs

IEP Tips: Communication before and after

2023/04/03

Communication is really important to ANY relationship. Most conflict seems to stem from miscommunication, misunderstanding, or lack of communication. And when there is conflict around your child’s IEP, your child is not benefiting. Communicate regularly with the entire IEP team!

There is a myth that if we wait, kids will just catch up and outgrow their difficulties. And while some kids DO need more time to mature or more access to direct instruction to then “catch up” to peers, when a parent feels certain that their child needs some extra help, that parent is usually accurate! The thing is, the sooner kids get

Spelling Lists We Can Do Better

2022/11/07

Video available at: www.YourParentHelp.com/podcast_0243 I can not count how many times I’ve heard parents worried about their child’s weekly spelling lists. Parents want to know what they should do as far as accommodations, or if the list is reasonable, or if it’s just cruel to mark a kid wrong for letter reversals when they otherwise would have gotten 100% (finally). Ouch! Yeah, for the record, I do think that is cruel! But I also just loathe spelling lists in the way that they are
