Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Safe Space: The ABA Podcast, host Michelle Zeman sits down with special guest Alicia Renee, founder of The IEP Files and self-proclaimed “IEP Queen.” Alicia shares her journey as a COPAA-trained advocate, autism mom, and passionate leader in special education advocacy. Together, they dive deep into strategies for parents to navigate IEP meetings, ask the right questions, document effectively (“collecting receipts”), and shift from overwhelm to empowerment.Listeners will walk away with practical tools, a better understanding of timelines and legal protections, and the encouragement to never enter an IEP meeting alone or unprepared.Be sure to listen for the two code words to earn 1.5 General CEUs for listening to this episode!
