IEP Inbox: “Can I Pick Who Works With My Child on Their IEP?”

You can’t choose your child’s speech therapist or special ed teacher like you’d pick a doctor—but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless.

In this mini episode, Monica explains what the law actually says about staff assignments in IEPs, when it’s okay to speak up, and how to start the conversation if something just isn’t working.
Whether it’s a provider mismatch, a sudden staffing change, or your gut saying “this isn’t the right fit,” this episode walks you through your rights, your options, and what respectful advocacy looks like in practice.
