The School-Speak Decoder- a practical translation guide for neurodivergent families navigating IEP and 504 conversations.

$27.00

The School-Speak Decoder is a practical translation guide for neurodivergent families navigating IEP and 504 conversations.

Schools rarely say “no” directly. Instead, they use professional language that sounds reasonable. But quietly delays decisions, minimizes impact, or shifts responsibility away from support.

This guide helps you recognize those patterns in real time and respond with clarity.

The School-Speak Decoder is a practical translation guide for neurodivergent families navigating IEP and 504 conversations.

Schools rarely say “no” directly. Instead, they use professional language that sounds reasonable. But quietly delays decisions, minimizes impact, or shifts responsibility away from support.

This guide helps you recognize those patterns in real time and respond with clarity.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • 30 common phrases schools use to delay, deny, minimize, blame, or deflect

  • Plain-language explanations of what those phrases usually mean in practice

  • Exact responses you can use in meetings and follow-up emails

  • Guidance that keeps conversations moving without escalating unnecessarily

  • A 1-page Quick Reference you can use during meetings or when your nervous system is overloaded

This is not an IEP overview or a legal manual.
It’s a system decoder—designed to help you slow the moment down, document decisions, and protect access.

You don’t need to argue.
You don’t need to memorize the law.
You need language that works.

Who This Is For

  • Parents of neurodivergent children navigating IEPs or 504s

  • Parents who leave meetings feeling confused or frozen

  • Parents who want to advocate without becoming confrontational

  • Neurodivergent parents who need tools that respect processing and regulation

What This Is Not

  • Not a binder or checklist

  • Not legal advice

  • Not a script for confrontation

  • Not “IEP 101”

This guide assumes you already care deeply.
It helps you translate the system.
