🎙️ 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.

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

About the Host:
I’m a dad who’s been through the IEP process and a professional who’s worked with college students for over 16 years in a college counseling center (now the director), with 10 years as a university accessibility coordinator. 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.
