IEP Support and GLUT1 School Accommodations
Thank you Dr. Becky Olson!
Our November Caregiver’s Connect Meeting welcomed Dr. Becky Olson, a Special Education Coordinator with more than 20 years of experience in education. We were all so excited to have her join us, as school accommodations can be tricky to navigate for GLUT1 students.
Becky is also mom to Kelsie, who lives with GLUT1. So she shared her knowledge and personal experience navigating the US educational system.
Becky shared helpful tips for communicating with teachers and school teams, advocating for accommodations, and feeling more confident going into IEP meetings. Becky provided a great visual resource to help families explain needed GLUT1 accommodations. Becky also worked with me to put together a quick guide for GLUT1 school accommodations. Be sure to save these resources and keep them handy for your next IEP meeting or school conversation. They are great tools to help start conversations and make sure educators have the information they need to better support your child.
A huge thank you to Becky for sharing her professional expertise and helpful resources with our caregiver community! It was helpful to hear from someone who understands both the school’s perspective and what it’s like to navigate the school system as a parent. We appreciate all the insight she brought to the group!
