Ep #452: Beyond the IEP: Building Stronger Parent-School Partnerships with Youness El Fehdi

August 25, 2026·33 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Supporting students with disabilities requires more than following a plan. It requires trust, communication, and strong partnerships between families and schools.       In this episode, I talk with Youness El Fehdi, author and parent advocate, about his experience navigating the education system as the father of a child with autism. We discuss the importance of collaboration between parents, teachers, and school leaders, how to approach IEP conversations from a place of partnership rather than blame, and why parents bring valuable insight that can help educators better support their students.                                       Find the full episode show notes and transcript here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/452           Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/        Check out Youness's website: https://elfehdiauthor.com/
