Your Child Does Not Have a Disability. They're In a School That Refused To Explore All Solutions.
If your child has been referred for a special education evaluation or handed an IEP labeling them with a cognitive disability, coded with dyslexia, or defaulted challenging behavior to a "disability" in conduct — and something about it never sat right with you — you may not be wrong.
Not every child who struggles in school has a disability. And not every child who is not on grade level with their peers has a disability. Some of them have a school district that found a label more convenient than a solution.

On The
Inside
20 years in...and counting...
Dr. Rah has been in those meetings where your child's future has been decided in under an hour.
She has seen...

Your Guide
As a special education resource and inclusion teacher with a doctorate in clinical psychology, master's degrees in educational psychology and human behavior, and a former behavior specialist and former leader in special education, she is here to teach you what 20 years inside the system actually operate like. She is here to tell you what many educators have been conditioned to fear telling you.
Before you accept the school's decision — and school, before you condemn yet another student to an IEP — let knowledge become your wisdom; wisdom be your voice; and your voice be your defense, if necessary
