In the school setting, occupational therapists prepare for and participate in several different types of IEP meetings. There are Initial, Annual, Addendum, 30-day and Transition IEPs. Today we discuss the purpose and differences between all of these. Plus, we offer OT tips for new therapists in the school based setting preparing for these meetings. And for our momma segment, we talk about how just when you think you have a good nighttime routine...there is a sleep regression, or in my home, night terrors. Sleep regressions are typical and most little ones will go one or several short periods of sleep regression.  Night terrors are not as common and can be a very scary experience for parents. My daughter had night terrors and I share what I found helpful in dealing with this and even what worked in preventing these from reoccurring.

Hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
