Episode #65 interview with Victoria Crisp 1

Today we are joined by education advocacy expert Victoria Crisp to talk about navigating school advocacy/accommodations for your child. We cover:
• IEP services vs. 504 accommodation plan (The difference between the two, and the different criteria necessary to be eligible)
• Explaining what accommodations can look like (with a few examples)
• The basics of what the evaluation process involves, how to begin that process, and how long it takes
• When it's best to bring in a professional education advocate and the importance of seeking out someone who has a ton of experience
• "OHI" vs "ED", what these mean, and the difference between the two (with examples)
• Does the fluctuating "relapsing/remitting" nature of PANS/PANDAS make it harder to obtain accommodations or services?
• Pros/Cons of approaching your child's teacher about the struggles they are dealing with
• Is there any way to affect global change as far as teacher training/understanding of PANS/PANDAS?
• What you can do if you feel that the services/accommodations that have been set for your child (IEP or 504) aren't being followed/implemented
