Undivided Voices Podcast Season 2 Episode 8: Understanding FAPE, LRE, and Your IEP,

Undivided Voices podcast logo

What does FAPE really mean for your child? And how does the least restrictive environment (LRE) affect where and how they learn? In this Undivided conversation, Dr. Sarah Pelangka, BCBA-D, special education advocate and owner of KnowIEPs, breaks down key concepts every parent should understand about IEPs. She explains your child’s right to a free, appropriate public education (FAPE), what LRE can look like in practice, and how these legal protections shape the services and supports included in an IEP. If you’re navigating special education or trying to better understand your child’s rights, this conversation offers helpful guidance and real-world insight.
