About this listen

How can you tell if your child’s IEP or 504 Plan isn’t being followed — or simply isn’t working anymore? In this week’s episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, helps parents identify common warning signs and know when it’s time to speak up.


Learn how to spot key red flags — from missing accommodations and vague progress reports to emotional or academic regression — and understand the difference between a plan that’s being ignored and one that simply needs to be updated.


Dominique also shares clear, professional steps you can take to document your concerns, request a meeting, and bring your team back into alignment — without confrontation or conflict.


💡 Quick Takeaway: When something feels off, don’t wait — ask questions, review the data, and bring the team together. Advocacy isn’t about confrontation; it’s about collaboration.
