Spring is the season of change. A shift from cold, heavy days into something warmer and lighter. And it reminds me of a time when I realized that everything I thought I knew about parenting wasn’t working for my child.

It started with a single repeated phrase—and a quiet fear I couldn’t ignore. As a speech-language pathologist, I recognized the signs in my son, but as his mother, I wasn’t ready to accept them. I tried to fix, redirect, and reshape him. Nothing worked. It wasn’t until I stopped trying to change him that I finally saw him—and everything changed.

This month’s blog, "From One Parent to Another: Why Planning Early for Your Child’s IEP Meeting Matters", is a heartfelt reflection on the emotional and practical realities of IEP season.
