Stop Asking “Why?” in IEP Meetings. Try This Instead!

One word can change the entire tone of an IEP meeting: “Why?”
Sandy explains how asking “Why didn't you do that?” can put people on the defensive, even when the concern is valid.
Instead, try saying, “It seems like you have a reason for that.”
A small shift in language can open the door to better communication and more productive conversations.
Not legal advice.
