Nikki & Brie are embracing their European era as Brie heads overseas for Spain, Italy, and France while Nikki makes the tough choice to stay home for one very important reason: Mateo's kindergarten graduation. The twins open up about balancing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities with family milestones, the reality of travel delays, and why sometimes saying “no” is the most meaningful decision you can make. They also dream about Tuscany, wine tastings, Italian culture, and all the adventures waiting abroad, while sharing hilarious travel stories, airport mishaps, and a fun round of Italian True or False. Along the way, Nikki reflects on romanticizing everyday life, creating beauty in the little moments, and why your wardrobe, playlists, friendships, coffee rituals, and even grocery lists can all be works of art.

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) has historically been a tedious, 200-page paper exercise that felt like being catapulted back to 1979. But AI is changing that.In this episode, Ashish sits down with Igor Andriushchenko (CISO at Lovable) and Jasper Mills (CEO of Ethira) to discuss the collision of TPRM and AI.We dive into the hidden risks of Shadow AI, exploring the chaos that ensues when non-technical teams spin up unauthorized AI tools without security oversight. Jasper and Igor explain why the future of vendor risk involves treating AI agents like a contracted workforce, managing their lifecycles, and preparing for the 2027 era of "agent-to-agent" negotiations where humans are entirely removed from the loop.We also cover the impact of DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) regulations, the Build vs. Buy debate for AI security tooling, and how to use autonomous agents to finally automate tedious vendor questionnaires.Guest Socials - Igor's Linkedin + Jasper LinkedinPodcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Jasper and Igor's Backgrounds (Athira and Lovable) (04:00) Why Traditional Third-Party Risk Management is Abysmal (06:20) DORA Regulations and the Collision of AI and Compliance (11:30) Using AI to Automate Vendor Assessments and Questionnaires (16:30) The Build vs. Buy Debate for AI TPRM Tools (22:30) Shadow AI: "Giving a Kindergarten a Nuclear Bomb" (25:30) Using AI Agents for Automated Vendor Discovery and Inventory (28:30) 2027: The Future of Agent-to-Agent Negotiations (30:40) Treating AI Agents Like a Contracted Workforce (34:10) Enforcing Contractual Accountability through AI Guardrails

In this episode, I am chatting with Carey Kirkella who lives with her husband and eight-year-old son in New York City. They came to unschooling after her son had many struggles at pre-K then in Kindergarten. Though on the outside he seemed to be doing fine, Carey saw how he was becoming more anxious and stressed and had increasing sensory issues. Carey shares how her son is doing now and how their lives look, along with all the challenges that come with accompanying a child as they recover from burnout, and how that impacts her too. I hope you enjoy the conversation!Connect with Careyinstagram.comLinkedInwww.careykirkella.comIf you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.

What does it take to open your home to 99 children — and love every single one of them?Lorraine Howard did exactly that. A certified professional photographer, award-winning artist, mom of 8, and former foster parent to 99 children (102 total when you count her foreign exchange student and birth kids — yes, really), Lorraine joins Monica Samuels and co-host Julie Orcutt for one of the most powerful Moms Club conversations we've ever had.This isn't just a story about foster care. It's a story about what love actually looks like when it costs something.ABOUT LORRAINE HOWARD:Lorraine Howard is a certified professional photographer based in California whose love of storytelling through portraits grew directly from her years as a foster and adoptive mom. After noticing that not one of her 99 foster children arrived with a single photograph, she made it her mission to give every child a visual record of their story. She now donates senior portrait sessions to foster kids aging out of the system — giving them something priceless before they face the world alone.

In dieser Folge des WELTKUNST-Podcasts „Was macht die Kunst?“ spricht Lisa Zeitz mit der Kunsthistorikerin Julia Voss über die Ausstellung „Natur und deutsche Geschichte. Glaube – Biologie – Macht“ im Deutschen Historischen Museum und darüber, wie sich das Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur über Jahrhunderte verändert hat. Im Zentrum des Gesprächs steht Hildegard von Bingen, deren Visionen, Bildwelten und Naturverständnis bis heute nachwirken – zwischen Spiritualität, Ökologie und Popkultur. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage, wie historische Bilder und Erzählungen bis heute unser Verhältnis zur Umwelt prägen – von der Kartoffel als preußischem Machtinstrument bis zur Entstehung des Kindergartens und den frühen Umweltbewegungen der 1970er-Jahre. Der WELTKUNST-Podcast „Was macht die Kunst?“ wird in Partnerschaft mit Volkswagen Group Culture.
Is your child ready for kindergarten in Alabama? Most children must turn 5 by September 1 to enroll, but parents should also be prepared with documents like immunization records and proof of residency while considering their child's developmental readiness. With early reading playing a major role in Alabama classrooms, planning ahead can help make the transition smoother for both kids and parents.

„Du brauchst keine Angst zu haben“ – ein Satz, den wir alle kennen. Aber hilft der eigentlich wirklich? In dieser Folge knöpfen wir uns das Thema Kinderängste vor und sprechen über Albträume, den altbekannten Nachtschreck und die Frage, wie man sein Kind begleitet, ohne es zu überfordern oder einfach „drüber hinwegzutrösten“. Es geht um typische Ängste vor Vorträgen, dem Alleine-Fahrradfahren oder dem Einschlafen, und darum, wie wir selbst damit umgehen: Bleiben wir geduldig oder wollen wir unsere Kinder lieber schnell zu ihrem Glück zwingen? Was hilft wirklich: Trost, Rituale, Kuscheltiere? Und warum träumt Max eigentlich auch als Erwachsener davon, dass ihm die Zähne ausfallen?! Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Max' Tochter ist mittlerweile schon richtig genervt, wenn er das große Pubertäts-Fass aufmacht, aber gleichzeitig sind da natürlich ganz viele Fragezeichen, auch bei uns: Ab wann sollten wir eigentlich mit unseren Kindern über Themen wie Periode, Samenerguss oder Verhütung sprechen – ohne sie direkt zu überfordern? Wer übernimmt solche Gespräche überhaupt: eher Mutter, eher Vater oder einfach die Person, die sich traut? Und wie schafft man es, dass Sex und Aufklärung irgendwann einfach Themen sind wie jedes andere auch? Und dann kommen ja auch noch Medien dazu: Pornos, Klassenchats, Online-Games. Dinge, mit denen unsere Kinder oft früher konfrontiert werden, als uns lieb ist. Genau darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge mit Mareike Brede. Sie ist Sexualpädagogin, Autorin und dreifache Mutter – und weiß ziemlich genau, wie Aufklärung zwischen Smartphone und Pubertät am besten funktioniert. - Hier findet ihr Mareike bei Instagram @die.mamareike: https://www.instagram.com/die.mamareike - Und hier geht's direkt zu ihren Büchern: https://sexklaert.de/eigene-buecher/ - Hier könnt ihr die Folge zum Thema sexuelle Früherziehung mit Dania Schiftan nachhören https://beste-vaterfreuden.podigee.io/350-sexuelle-fruherziehung-wie-bringe-ich-meinen-kindern-gesunde-sexualitat-bei-mit-dania-schiftan Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

If there was ever an episode to send to every parent you know, this is it.I sat down with Dr. Cara Natterson — pediatrician and author — and Vanessa Curl Bennett, and we went there. All the way there. Breast buds, NARBs, vaginal discharge (yes, we said it out loud), the sex talk, consent with kindergartners, and what to do when your kid's been watching porn before you've ever had the conversation.Their book, This Is So Awkward, is one of the most practical, honest, funny, and genuinely useful things I've read as a parent of teens. It walks you through the science of what's happening in your kid's body, helps you recognize your own baggage so it doesn't derail the conversation, gives you scripts for the actual hard moments, and — my favorite part — ends each section with perspective from young adults who've already been through it.We talked about: what breast buds actually mean (and why they're showing up years before a period), how to handle the first bra conversation without making it weird, what the NARB is and why your son needs a strategy for it, the concept of "not now" vs. "never" when it comes to alcohol, sex, and body hair, how the average age of first porn exposure is now 12 — and what that means for the conversations you need to have, and how to teach consent starting in kindergarten, long before sex ever enters the picture.I laughed. I cringed. I took notes. You will too.

In this episode, we're digging into one of the most nuanced (and often confusing) parts of homeschooling: diagnoses, IEPs, and 504 plans. Do homeschooled kids actually need them? When do they matter? When do they not? We break down how these supports function in traditional school settings, what changes when you homeschool, and why documentation can still be critical for things like SATs, APs, and dual enrollment. We also get real about the barriers to getting evaluated, the cost, the emotional side of diagnosis, and the current political climate that's making all of this feel even more complicated. Whether you're questioning labels or craving clarity, this conversation will help you think through what's best for your child both now and in the future.We'd love to invite you to join our book club. Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you're not navigating this alone.

Sind Einzelkinder wirklich egoistischer? Haben Geschwister automatisch bessere soziale Kompetenzen? Und wer ist am Ende eigentlich glücklicher: Einzelkinder oder Kinder mit Geschwistern? Um Antworten auf all diese Fragen zu finden, haben wir – als eure Geschwisterkinder der Herzen – mal wieder sämtliche Studien gewälzt. Wir erklären euch, wer besser teilen kann, warum Einzelkinder manchmal so wahnsinnig altklug klingen und ob Sandwichkinder wirklich benachteiligt sind.

Partakers of the Divine Nature2 Peter 1:1-11 Partakers of the Divine Nature: 2 Peter 2:1-11 Chris Moore Message Slides For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (vv. 1-4) - Our Growth Begins with God's Initiative (vv. 1-3) - Our Growth Continues as we Hear & Believe (v. 4)Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (vv. 5-11) - True Spiritual Growth is Comprehensive (vv. 5-7) - True Spiritual Growth is Continual (v. 8) - True Spiritual Growth is Essential (vv. 9-11)Discussion Questions1. Think about a time in your life when you experienced significant spiritual growth. What were some of the key elements that led to your growth?Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:1-4)2. What does it mean that God “has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” (1:3)? Does this mean we don't need any outside resources like books or other people? How would you explain this?3. One way we grow and become “partakers of the divine nature” is by hearing and believing His “precious and very great promises” (1:4). What promises has God made that encourage you most? 4. What are some practical ways we can make sure we continue believing and trusting so we keep growing in Christ? Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:5-11)5. Peter mentions eight characteristics in vv. 5-7. We are supposed to “make every effort” to grow in these areas. In which of these areas do you need to grow?6. In v.8 we learn we should be “increasing” in these eight areas and in our spiritual growth. Are you in a season of spiritual growth right now? If not, what next steps can you take?7. Do you tend to emphasize the active role or the passive role in your spiritual growth? Which aspect needs some extra attention right now? Pray for the Unreached: The Kapu in India The Kapu are a large Hindu community in southern India, historically known as farmers and protectors, with many still engaged in agriculture today. While some have moved into business, education, and leadership, many remain in rural areas with limited access to resources. Though the Bible and gospel tools are available, only a small percentage follow Christ. Pray for a growing movement of disciples among the Kapu, for hearts to be open to the gospel, and for both their spiritual and physical needs to be met.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/19 40,027Giving For 04/26 20,288YTD Budget 1,488,462Giving 1,796,478 OVER/(UNDER) 308,016 Fellowship Baby DedicationFellowship is grateful to partner with parents as they dedicate their children to the Lord.

April, du wilde Maus. In dieser Recap-Folge nehme ich dich mit in unseren vergangenen Monat. Und der hatte wirklich einiges zu bieten. Von allem etwas würd ich sagen ;) Ärger mit dem Jugendamt, Sorgen um die Kindergarten-Eingewöhnung (Ja, immer noch!), Buch-Release-Emotionen und die leicht naive Idee, dass wir „mal eben“ noch einen Pfingsturlaub planen.
We are still Going Ga Ga For Gosling and have come to a film where he was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award 10 years ago, La La Land. It was a great time rewatching this musical and feeling all the feels with Gosling and Stone. Rob's best friend from Kindergarten, Timmy St.Sauver, came back to give his thoughts and it was really really fun. Hope y'all enjoy!
We were about to say something like, “Online programs aren't the problem, but how we use them can make or break a homeschool experience.” But then we had to pause for a beat because some are seriously problematic and we need to talk about that too. So… in this episode, we talk about why the “log in and call it a day” approach often falls flat, even though we totally understand the appeal. We unpack how to use online tools strategically, what actually works (and what doesn't), and how to balance independence with connection so learning actually sticks. If you've ever wondered whether your current setup is really working or how to tweak it without blowing everything up… this conversation is for you!We'd love to invite you to join our book club.

Kindergarten Roundup Part 8 - Setting Course For Pluto
Best Of 2GG: Summer House Leaked Audio and Explained Like Kindergarten by Two Girls and a Guy
Für Kinder gibt es ja gewisse Meilensteine, also wann sie anfangen zu krabbeln, zu sprechen, zu laufen. Aber ab wann merkt man eigentlich, dass das eigene Kind anders ist – und was macht man dann? Darum geht's in dieser Folge mit Neurodivergenz-Expertin Isabel Demirel. Sie erzählt von ihrem Sohn, der ADHS und Autismus hat, und von einem Weg, der alles andere als einfach war: erste Auffälligkeiten, Zweifel von außen („Das ist doch nur Einbildung“) und der lange Prozess bis zur Diagnose. Es geht um die Realität im Alltag: von Überforderung und Mental Load bis hin zu ganz konkreten Situationen, in denen man plötzlich erklären, einordnen und für sein Kind einstehen muss. Gleichzeitig aber auch darum, wie man als Familie seinen eigenen Weg findet, das Umfeld mitnimmt und trotz aller Herausforderungen zu einem harmonischen und stabilen Familienleben kommt.

Message SlidesRecommended Books on Suffering - WilsonHow Long, O Lord, Reflections on Suffering and Evil - D.A. CarsonThe Secret to Preparing for Suffering - Kristin Wetherrell4 Reasons to be of Good Courage in Suffering - Kristin WetherrellDon't Peter Out - Swindoll6 Pillars of a Christian View on Suffering - D.A. CarsonStott on Suffering and Glory in the Cross - John StottINTRODUCTION: All Scripture is ProfitableA Final Perspective on SufferingChristian suffering is temporary and purposeful.• Temporary: Your suffering will not last forever. (5:10a).• Sovereign: Our gracious God has a long term plan for our glory (5:10b).• Purposeful: God uses suffering to restore, establish, strengthen, & ground us (5:10c).• Praise - God's sovereign purpose and grace prompt our praise (5:11).A Final Perspective on Partners and PeaceGod's grace is where we stand when times are tough.• The Letter: A message about the true grace of God (5:12a).• The Exhortation: Stand firm on the foundation of God's grace in suffering (5:12b).• The Greetings: Partners in ministry care for one another (5:13).• The Benediction: Be affectionate and rest in the peace of God (5:14).In the final analysis, when Christians sufferthey can trust that God is sovereign, suffering grows us,and God' grace is sufficient for everything we experience.Suffering SpeaksBut pain insists upon being attended to.God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience,but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. C.S. Lewis (The Problem of Pain)Home Church Questions1. Temporary SufferingPeter says that we “suffer for a little while.” Share a story or two of people whose suffering puts your own suffering in perspective as “for a little while.” Think about missionaries in persecuted areas who live theirwhole lives under threat, or someone like Joni Eareckson Tada, who has walked faithfully with the Lord for 76 years now, almost 60 of those years as a quadriplegic.2. Restored, Established, Strengthened and GroundedGod has a purpose for our suffering, and it is not always to alleviate it. How has God used suffering in your life to accomplish the purposes set forth in this passage? How have you been equipped, solidified, bolstered,and grounded?3. To Him be the “power” forever, Amen.Usually, we would expect the word “glory” where we read “power” or “dominion.” Why is “power” appropriate? Karen Jobes claims that God's eternal might “makes Roman glory look like a withered flower.”When have you experienced this?4. Stand Fast in the True Grace of God.Peter says his purpose was to encourage his readers. Have you been encouraged by this book? How? How do we “Stand fast in the true grace of God?”5. A Final Look Back:As we finish the book of 1 Peter, think back over the messages and flip through the passages. What encouragements have you taken with you? In what way does 1 Peter provide a unique message that you need?UPG FOCUS: The Amma Kenanga in India The Amma Kodaga are a small Hindu people group living in the hilly regions of southern India, where they farm crops like coffee and spices and live in close-knit, tradition-rich communities. Though the New Testament is available in their language, there are no known believers among them. Pray that they would be drawn to Jesus, that disciples would be raised up among them, and that workers would go to share the gospel.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/12 22,618Giving For 04/19 40,027YTD Budget 1,453,846Giving 1,776,190 OVER/(UNDER) 322,344 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong.

We are so thrilled to have not just one guest this episode but two - Adrianne Meldrum and Heather Brand! Adrianne Meldrum founded and owns Made for Math, a fully online math center that supports students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other math-related learning challenges. She is a certified Multisensory Math Instructor and holds a master's degree from Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity. Adrianne lives in Arizona with her husband and three sons, where she enjoys the beautiful sunsets. Heather Brand, M.Ed., is a licensed educator with two decades of experience teaching students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. She currently works at Made for Math, supporting learners with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences, and holds certifications in multisensory math instruction and reading intervention. Heather is passionate about sharing practical, structured strategies that help teachers confidently support all students while making math engaging and enjoyable. In this episode of the show, we unpack why dyscalculia is so hard to identify and why it often overlaps with conditions such as dyslexia and ADHD/ADD. In fact, Adrianne and Heather talk about how many of the students whom they see arrive with multiple diagnoses, and that raises a truly important question: when a child struggles with math, what's really causing the difficulty? Throughout our conversation, we take a look at how professionals sort through those overlapping factors, and Adrianne and Heather explain how assessments can reveal specific types of math struggles, whether they involve language, memory, sequencing, or foundational number sense, and they explain why understanding the root cause is so important. We also talk through some real classroom scenarios and case studies that showcase how these challenges actually take place in everyday learning. From students who can perform calculations but freeze when faced with word problems, to those who mix up the direction of their work or struggle to recall math facts, all of these examples help clarify what educators and parents should watch out for. In addition, we discuss practical strategies that can help students succeed! Adrianne and Heather share some approaches that build on understanding, strengthen math fact retrieval, and reduce the working memory load that can often overwhelm students, especially those with ADHD. They also touch upon how simple environmental changes, such as minimizing distractions and organizing information more clearly, can dramatically improve learning. Perhaps most importantly, however, we discuss how the right kind of instruction doesn't just improve math performance. It can actually rebuild confidence and reduce the anxiety that often accompanies math struggles! Enjoy our conversation with Adrianne Meldrum and Heather Brand! Show Notes: [3:56] - Dyscalculia is often diagnosed late and overlaps with other conditions, further complicating diagnosis. [6:44] - Early math struggles so often go unnoticed, yet they affect multiple areas alongside reading or attention difficulties. [9:50] - Students may calculate correctly but fail at word problems because of language or vocabulary challenges. [10:37] - Heather reflects on multi-diagnosed students who often show math difficulties that overlap with dyslexia, ADHD, or dysgraphia symptoms. [12:47] - When Heather assesses, she assesses whether math struggles stem from dyscalculia or other diagnoses. [15:30] - Observing students' problem-solving can help reveal specific issues such as directionality, that are separate from place value understanding. [16:49] - We hear how conceptual understanding uses visuals, while fact retrieval relies on memorization and fluency practice. [19:50] - Heather discusses how she uses cues and repetition before timed exercises, helping students get things right before they start doing them automatically. [23:47] - We hear how schema-based strategies teach students to analyze story problems, rather than linking words directly to operations. [26:23] - Heather explains and breaks down the ROMANS strategy. [29:34] - ADHD increases cognitive demands in math, making working memory and flexible problem-solving even more difficult. [30:15] - Adrianne reflects on how minimizing task switching and using visual support helps students with ADHD maintain attention and limit mistakes. [33:33] - Multiple sources for instructions can sometimes confuse students, so limiting transitions and providing frequent feedback is so important! [35:49] - Adrianne explains how reducing visual and language clutter helps protect working memory and boosts student confidence and learning ability. [37:42] - Matching instruction to a child's learning profile can drastically help increase engagement, understanding, and self-confidence! [38:19] - Adrianne highlights how evidence-based strategies benefit all students, not just those with diagnoses. [40:16] - How can listeners connect with Adrianne and Heather?

Friendship: Built, Broken, Restored 1 Samuel 18:1-4 Message SlidesFor the bulletin in PDF, click here. 1. Friendship Built (1 Sam 18:1-4)-True friendship is built on shared values.-True friendship is built on selflessness.2. Friendship Broken (1 Sam 18:8-15)-True friendship breaks apart because of selfishness.-True friendship breaks apart because of deep anger.3. Friendship Restored (John 15:12-15)-Jesus provides the way for my relationship with God to be restored. -Jesus provides the way for relationships to be restored in His community.Home Church Questions1. Jonathan and David are united around common values (1 Sam 18:1-4). What are some of the common interests that have been at the center of your friendships over the years? Talk about some of your key friendships throughout your life. 2. Why is it difficult to have friendships where we are truly concerned with the well-being of the other person and not driven by “what's in it for me?” What are some practical steps we can take to ensure we focus on the other person and don't focus solely on ourselves? 3. What are some of the common sins that negatively impact relationships? How have you experienced this in your life? What are some of the patterns of sin in your life that have prevented you from having healthy relationships?4. Is there an area in your life where you need to trust God's sovereignty and deal with anger and past hurt? Explain. How might addressing anger and past hurt help you in your relationships? 5. What are some ways Jesus has been a better friend to us than any other person could be (see John 15:12-15)? Why should my friendship/relationship with God make me a better friend to others?6. Have you experienced healthy Christian friendship where there was forgiveness, grace, truth, and accountability? Share about those relationships and how they formed. 7. What are some practical steps you can take to experience good, healthy friendships? Pray for the Unreached: The Samaritans in West Bank/GazaThe Samaritans are a very small, ancient community living primarily near Mount Gerizim in the West Bank and in Holon, Israel. Descended from a long and complex history, they maintain distinct religious traditions centered on the Pentateuch and worship on Mount Gerizim. Though they share historical roots with Judaism, they remain a separate and tightly knit ethnic faith community. Pray that, just as in the New Testament, many Samaritans would encounter Jesus personally and embrace Him as the promised Messiah, and begin multiplying house churches.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/05 30,714Giving For 04/12 22,618YTD Budget 1,419,231Giving 1,736,163 OVER/(UNDER) 316,932 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong.

As the school year winds down, this is a critical window for families and educators. If there's anything you've been meaning to put in motion before summer, now is the time to act. Planning ahead is essential, and school districts often operate on fixed timelines, leaving limited flexibility for scheduling assessments and services. In today's episode, we're diving into the challenges many families face in kindergarten and transitional kindergarten classrooms when it comes to getting students evaluated and connected with the support they need. Tune in as we break it down and share what you should know.Show Highlights:The reality of expectations for TK students measured against kindergarten standardsWatch out for the “typical peer” trap.What we are seeing from schoolsAn example to support this question: “Which group of typical peers is my child being compared to?”Does the level of support prove that the child needs services?Understanding the functional component of education (lining up, transitioning to other classrooms, grasping routines and procedures, etc.)The purpose of an IEP is to provide consistent implementation from year to year.It's not appropriate to rely on the “COVID baby” designation to excuse a student's struggles.Early intervention is everything!Resources:Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org.Thank you for listening!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to the show to receive every new episode delivered straight to your podcast player every Tuesday.If you enjoyed this episode and believe in our message, please help us get the word out about this podcast.
