About this listen

A Parent Vision Statement is one of the most powerful tools you can bring to an IEP or 504 meeting — yet most parents have never been taught how to write one. In this week’s episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, explains what a Parent Vision Statement is, why it matters, and how it can transform the way your child’s school team understands their needs, strengths, and long-term goals.

You’ll learn:

  • What a vision statement includes (and what it doesn’t)

  • Why it helps teams see your child as a whole person, not just data points

  • How it keeps meetings focused on meaningful outcomes

  • A step-by-step process for writing your own

  • A sample Parent Vision Statement you can use for inspiration

  • How to add your statement into the IEP or 504 process

💡 Quick Takeaway: When you write your child’s vision, you’re giving the team a compass.
