Great video! Keep up the good work
Hit the nail on the head with this one!
So glad to find this channel- I’m a former para who is taking on my district to make meaningful change in special Ed. I need allll the info
Thank you for having me on your podcast, Ashley! As always, I have the BEST time chatting with you...
Hello, How are you? Have you received my email? I am waiting for your reply. Thank you, Sane
Nice Video
Hi!! The link for the market research isn’t a live link.
Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a TH-cam video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. Are you interested in this?
People could be a little more empathetic and gentle with parents at IEP meetings. The word LAZY is offensive and off putting.

Do you happen to have a list of recommed books on different topics that are informative and library worthy?

My child has ASD 3, and she is 3 years old. What age is it recommended to start potty training for children with severe autism? I definitely can start taking her to the bathroom with me when I go to “potty”, as well as, start changing her in the bathroom. How will I know that she is ready to start sitting on a potty? Note: She also has Cerebral Palsy level 3.
Happy Birthday Jack!! 🎉🎊🎈🎇

This is my favorite strategy for my children and my clients' IEPs. I love how you broke down the future planning into 5 categories. I'm going to start incorporating these more.
Thank you so much!!! So helpful…
Great tips as always!! Thank you so much Ashley. I wish I had more patience considering my child is in high school and is so far behind his peers. I love your basement!
Perfect message for imperfect times. Everyone on the IEP team deserves the grace of the assumption of having the best of intentions. My empathy cup has been refilled. Thank you.
