Laurie continues explaining school voucher programs. While school voucher/ESA programs offer flexibility, families of students with disabilities should be cautious - IDEA's strongest protections only apply in public schools.

Once a child moves to a private school, IEPs are no longer legally enforceable and services become limited, leaving families with far fewer rights and recourse if their child's needs aren't met.

In this episode, Laurie sits down with Jacqui Byrne, founder of FlexSchool, for an insightful conversation about twice-exceptional (2e) students.

Jacqui shares her expertise on what it truly means to be 2e, the misconceptions surrounding these students, and how traditional school environments often struggle to support their unique needs.
