No one else walked me through the real stuff: what an IEP meeting looks like, pre-planning, and how to do it well.”

Master’s programs felt too theoretical. NASET was practical and applicable to real classrooms.

There is so much to take in. All of the resources are amazing. Honestly, I had never heard of NASET, but I wish I had 20 years ago. I’m going to share it with the sped teachers at my school.
