Special Needs Parents & Teachers, It's time to stop drowning in IEP stress. Take these steps and FEEL better in your next IEP meeting!
We all know there are hundreds of things that seem to need to be done before the meeting. Even just thinking about it can cause sleepless nights, high anxiety at home and overwhelm that just keeps building until meeting day.
Here's how I lower stress when prepping for IEP meeting after IEP meeting after IEP meeting... some of these might seem like they are "feely", but they work!
I've been prepping for IEP meetings for over 20 years. There's no way I would've been able to keep creating change in special education, if I let the stress take over. If I sat at my desk or kitchen table stuck and overwhelmed, I would've given up years ago.
Parents and Teachers... you need to do whatever it takes to a powerful pause during your IEP prep. You are too important to be burnt out. Take care of you, so you can take care of others.
And never forget... You are EXTRAORDINARY!
