After the IEP Podcast

🎙️ Welcome to After the IEP

The go-to podcast for parents, advocates, and professionals supporting college-bound students with hidden disabilities.

What would it mean to see your student thrive in college—with less stress, the right accommodations, and the confidence to self-advocate from day one?

After the IEP delivers the tools, insights, and strategies to make that vision a reality.

💡 Imagine if…

  • Your student had the right skills and support to succeed in their first semester.
  • You were confident you had done everything possible to prepare them.
  • You understood the college accommodation process and how to guide your student through it.
  • You were prepared for your own emotional transition as a parent.

This isn’t just about paperwork or policies—it’s about helping your student gain independence, resilience, and success in college.

🔍 What You’ll Find on the Podcast:

Each episode brings you insider knowledge from an experienced transition specialist and licensed mental health professional. You’ll hear:

  • The truth about IEPs, 504s, and what actually happens in college
  • Step-by-step self-advocacy strategies
  • Real stories from students, parents, and professionals
  • Expert advice on mental wellness, executive functioning, and accommodations
  • Guidance for your college search and documentation prep
  • Encouragement and validation for the journey you’re on

Whether you’re just starting the college prep process or are months away from move-in day, After the IEP helps you and your student feel ready—academically, emotionally, and practically.


About the Host:

I’m a dad who’s been through this twice and a professional who’s worked with students and families for over 20 years. I created After the IEP to fill the gap I saw for students with hidden disabilities—like ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, or autism—who need support before they step onto a college campus.
