🎓🌟

From an IEP to a Bachelor’s degree 🎓 to TWO Master’s degrees🎓🎓 while pursuing a PhD 🩺, I am incredibly proud of myself and my accomplishments. Most importantly, I couldn’t have done any of this without the support of my family ❤️. I am still not done; there is still more to come 🌟. See you all around this same time next year 😜

The journey through academia can be transformative and empowering, especially for those who have faced challenges like an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This personalized approach helps students with disabilities achieve educational success, ultimately paving the way for higher learning opportunities. Graduating with a Bachelor’s degree is already a significant milestone, but earning multiple Master’s degrees highlights dedication and perseverance. As I navigate the rigors of a PhD program, I reflect on the importance of community and support networks. Engaging with fellow students and mentors not only enriches the learning experience but also fosters motivation during tough times. Many students share their inspiring stories on platforms like Lemon8, emphasizing resilience and the need for encouragement. Keep an eye out for upcoming graduation celebrations and new educational achievements as I continue this journey. Your support means the world to those of us aspiring to higher education!

I’ve been thinking about going back to school

I’ve been thinking about going back to school to be an X-ray tech. I want to do it. But the moment I think about taking a math class? Instant panic. I can do basic stuff, but anything beyond that? It’s like my brain shuts down. I had an IEP in high school and was basically just passed along. No

A slide titled "Etiology & Risk Factors" for ADHD. It lists genetic predisposition, altered dopamine and norepinephrine regulation, environmental factors like low birth weight and prenatal substance exposure, family stress, and higher prevalence in relatives.

Every student learns differently. The IEP makes sure they’re seen, supported, and set up to succeed. Progress looks different for every child, but what matters is that they’re moving forward with the right tools. #neurodivergent #iep #overstimulatedmom #audhd

Please check with your Child school if they are using beanbags on your children if they are in a behavioral class. Because at this point this needs to get handled immediately! This is out of hand and I did not know such thing was happening . #AutismAwareness #BehavioralProblems #ADHD #PTSD

If your child goes to a private ASD school this may not pertain to you. This is advice coming from an AUDHD mom, advocate & special needs para. The no child left behind actually hurts our children. They just pass them onto the next grade. Fight for your child’s accommodations. #advocate #special

Doubting Yourself Over Your Disability

Before and after being put on an IEP, I had a lot of teachers and peers reinforce the stigma around learning disabilities, which caused me to doubt my dreams and think I wasn't smart enough. From there on, I was severely bullied about my music and singing. Now I am a 2x Semi Major Music award w

An illustration of a smiling woman holding a coffee cup and a book, with a whiteboard behind her listing "IEP Goals," "Special Education," and "Services" alongside puzzle pieces and rainbows. The title reads "REAL-DEAL IEP TIPS FROM ONE MAMA TO ANOTHER."

A black background with white text stating: "1. DON'T SIGN NOTHING ON THE SPOT. TAKE THAT HOME, READ IT WITH SNACKS AND A HIGHLIGHTER. AIN'T NO RUSH WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BABY."

A black background with white text stating: "2. BRING A NOTEBOOK AND YOUR PETTY FOLDER. ONE SIDE FOR NOTES. ONE SIDE FOR RECEIPTS. BECAUSE THEY WILL FORGET WHAT THEY SAID IN THAT LAST MEETING. BUT GUESS WHO WON'T? YOU."

IEP Meetings aren’t scary when you come prepared

I used to walk into lEP meetings nervous. Now? I walk in like, "So, who's explaining what today?" Because once you realize YOU know your child better than anyone at that table, EVERYTHING CHANGES. I'm not here to be your friend. I'm here to get what my baby needs. Period. &am
