In this eye-opening episode of Wholistically PsychEd, school psychologist Mariah Choate pulls back the curtain on a practice that’s happening far too often in schools — quietly breaking the law. Tune in as Mariah dives into real scenarios where students with behavioral needs have been moved to alternative more restrictive settings without the protection of an IEP or proper evaluations. These unspoken violations are more than just unethical—they’re illegal. This episode sheds light on what should be happening under IDEA, why these practices are so harmful, and what parents and educators need to know to advocate effectively, including step-by-step plans on how to address these needs.
