Hello, I'm David Poeschl, a retired school district special education director and CalState University lecturer now providing individual advocacy services to parents of students with disabilities. Currently, I speak to 300-400 families per year and work closely with 40-50 of those. This podcast reflects the real-world experiences of someone who has worked extensively in the field, having chaired thousands of IEP meetings, and has worked with parents and other educators for over 30 years. Although the program is geared towards California, there is universally applicable information in each episode. The programs presented are concise, no-nonsense and fact filled with information that is usable and timely. Podcast episodes vary by length and content, so check out the notes on each one to get more information. Thanks for listening!
