Hydro Heroes Unite Season 2 Podcast: Episode 13

Not sure what an IEP or 504 plan is or if your child needs one? Today on Hydro Heroes Unite, education law attorney Ashley VanCleef joins me to break down IEP’s and 504 plans for adolescents living with hydrocephalus. We talk about what the plans are, how to start the process, and what to be mindful of along the way. Ashley also shares the legal steps to take when things aren’t working and how to help teens begin advocating for themselves during their own IEP meetings.
