The IEP Game Plan

The IEP Game Plan Podcast helps busy Moms navigate special education with clarity, confidence and strategy-both inside and outside the IEP meeting. 

Hosted by Octavia Walker, IEP Strategist and Mom of a child with autism, this podcast is designed for parents raising children with autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, and other special education needs who want to better understand the IEP process and confidently advocate for their child.

IEP meetings can feel overwhelming. Between special education terminology, legal requirements under IDEA, and the pressure to make decisions in the moment, many parents leave meetings confused about what just happened or unsure of what to do next.

Inside each episode, Octavia breaks down the special education process in a clear, practical way so parents can approach IEP meetings with confidence and strategy.

You’ll learn how to:
 • prepare for IEP meetings and review IEP documents
 • understand IEP goals, services, and progress data
 • ask the right questions during meetings
 • recognize when something in the IEP process isn’t working
 • confidently advocate for your child’s educational needs

But this podcast is also about what happens outside the IEP meeting.

Because raising a child with special needs affects every part of life — your time, your energy, your relationships, and sometimes even your identity as a parent.

The IEP Game Plan Podcast helps Moms not only navigate the special education system, but also find clarity, confidence, and balance in the process.

Because your child deserves a strong advocate — and that advocate is you.

If you’ve ever left an IEP meeting feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure of your next step, this podcast will help you create a clear game plan moving forward.
