IEP Guide Empowers Autism and Special Needs Parents
New IEP Guide Empowers Autism and Special Needs Parents with Effective Advocacy Strategies The First
Los Angeles, California Oct 7, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - "Mastering the Battlefield: Strategize, Advocate, Triumph: The Battle Plan for Special Needs Parents" is the first book in a powerful trilogy by Mieko Perez, designed to support parents within the autism and special needs communities. This transformative resource helps parents confidently navigate the complexities of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Packed with actionable strategies, insightful guidance, and emotional support, this guide equips families to be effective advocates for their children’s educational rights, covering key areas such as preparing for IEP meetings, understanding crucial protections like “Stay Put,” and demystifying the roles of IEP attorneys and advocates.
Written by Mieko Perez, a seasoned advocate with over 22 years of experience, this first book of the trilogy simplifies complex educational terminology, provides relatable real-world examples, and teaches critical communication and negotiation skills to help parents engage effectively with school systems. It empowers parents to set priorities, confidently manage IEP meetings, and ensure their children receive the necessary services to succeed both academically and in life.
This guide was developed as part of Mieko’s promise to her son Joey—to personally respond to every call and email from parents seeking support. Throughout her 15 years of advocacy work, Mieko recognized the need to help parents write effective IEP request letters, understand the foundational protocols under the Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) law, and create meaningful goals aligned with their child’s unique needs.

NBA Legends Summer Getaway Highlights Cannabis and Business
July 16, 2024 Cannabis Now Magazine - The NBA landscape is changing when it comes to the acceptance of cannabis and its use and the association of its players doing business in the industry. A 2023 decision by the league to allow players to use marijuana and for them to invest in companies that sell CBD or marijuana has been welcomed by current players and retired ones who said it was about time.
Retired NBA players were on hand July 10-12 in Las Vegas for the annual Legends Summer Getaway where the National Basketball Retired Players Association included former NBA player Derrick Coleman and cannabis consultant Mieko Hester Perez talking about all things cannabis and business. Both took part on a wide-ranging panel on emerging business opportunities for their members. Photo Credit NBRPA
