The Negotiation Blueprint: How Parents Are Taking Control of Their IEP Meetings
Are parents really expected to take the lead and set the tone at IEP meetings? No, we don’t believe so. But with rising tensions and stress in these IEP meetings, many parents feel unheard, frustrated, and powerless. Our course addresses this challenge directly, teaching proven techniques to turn tough IEP meetings into productive discussions. You’ll learn how to approach these meetings with confidence, clear communication, and effective advocacy strategies—saving time, stress, and frustration. It’s not about fighting; it’s about being heard. Ready to change the way you approach IEP meetings?
The ideas and techniques referenced in Mastering IEP Meetings: Negotiation Skills course are based on our interpretation of the strategies presented in the book Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss and Collaborating with the Enemy: How to Work with People You Don't Agree with or Like or Trust. We do not hold any rights to these books nor did we play a role in developing the concepts or concerns discussed within its pages. These insights are shared with the intention of helping parents better navigate IEP meetings. You can find the books here:
