Want better conversations at IEP meetings? Start with EMPATHY!
Sandy explains how tactical empathy can help parents and educators navigate difficult conversations without creating unnecessary conflict.
When a teacher feels overwhelmed by repeated requests for information, acknowledging that frustration can help lower defensiveness.
Instead of immediately pushing your own perspective, try understanding what the other person is experiencing.
Tactical empathy isn't about agreeing with someone. It's about making them feel heard so you can move the conversation forward!
Because better communication can lead to better collaboration for students with disabilities.
