Adriane|IEP Coach Podcast: Helping Parents Advocate Confidently in the IEP & Special Education Process
You Signed the IEP. Why Nothing Changed is a podcast for parents of children with special needs navigating the special education and IEP process.
If your child has an IEP but isn’t making meaningful progress, this show breaks down why—and what parents can do next. Each episode explains IEP meetings, special education laws, parent rights, evaluations, goals, services, accommodations, and progress monitoring in plain language parents can actually use.
We uncover why IEPs often fail to deliver real support, how schools use confusing language and delays, and what parents need to know to advocate effectively for their child’s education.
This podcast is honest, practical, and parent-focused—designed to help families stop feeling overwhelmed and start walking into IEP meetings informed, confident, and prepared.
If you’re tired of signing paperwork without results and want clarity, advocacy tools, and real guidance in special education, this podcast is for you.
