20. Strategies for Working with the ESE Team with Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan

20. Strategies for Working with the ESE Team with Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan

In this episode, I interview Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan. Dr. Dudek-Brannan is the founder and CEO of Dr. Karen, LLC, a company focused on empowering educators to support language, literacy, executive functioning, and cognitive wellness. She currently offers online professional development focused on helping K-12 therapists (SLPs, psychologists, social workers, and other service providers) develop programs and services that support students in the areas of language, literacy, and executive functioning. She also helps IEP teams work together so they can provide more comprehensive support for students despite having big caseloads. Dr. Karen is a licensed SLP and has a doctorate in special education, a special education director license, and an assistive technology graduate certificate. She spent 14 years in the school systems before starting an online education company in 2015. She's currently the host of the De Facto Leaders podcast, where she shares up-to-date evidence-based practices, my own experience, and guest interviews designed to help clinicians and educators feel more confident in the way they serve their caseloads, so they can help school-age kids grow up to be successful, kind, well-adjusted people. You can listen to the show on most popular podcast directories, and can scroll through past episodes on this page here. You can learn more about her programs for speech-language pathologists here, and you can learn more about her programs for IEP teams and leadership development here.

Listen in to the entire conversation for takeaways for emerging leaders, ESE/ IEP team members, and principals:

  • Medical vs. education model
  • Communication
  • System of Support
  • Teamwork
  • Importance of making IEP team feel valued and feel supported
