About this listen

What should you really be looking for in early childhood development—and what do you do when it feels overwhelming? Wendy sits down with Jackie Beach, founder of Rally Family Support and early childhood expert, for a candid, empowering conversation about noticing red flags, collecting meaningful data, and making the leap from early intervention to IEPs. Jackie blends wisdom and warmth as she reminds parents: you can trust your gut—and you’re not alone.

Tune in for actionable advice, advocacy tips, and heartfelt encouragement.

3 Key Takeaways:
  • Data is power: Learn how to collect developmental data through everyday routines and how to bring it to your pediatrician or school team.
  • Your voice matters: How to use the parent input statement strategically during the IEP process.
  • Be the quarterback: Jackie explains why parents must stay at the center of the conversation, especially during transitions between early intervention and school services.
