Description
Episode 71: In this episode, we dive into the complexities of navigating the special education system, particularly for students with hidden disabilities such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and mental health conditions like bipolar disorder and anxiety. With 13% of California’s K-12 students receiving individualized services, understanding this process is crucial for parents and caregivers seeking the best support for their children. Joined by educator and parent Anne Childers and Dr. Kathryn Keithly, a licensed educational psychologist, we aim to provide a practical guide for advocating within the school system.
