Episode 4: Becoming an Imperfect Advocate

Check out my book at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-imperfect-advocate-d-w/1144444132

In this episode I share why I wrote a book. I share more details of my personal history involving dispute resolution within the special education system in Georgia, USA. It provided me with a wealth of experiences, insights, and challenges. I utilized this background knowledge to write my book, "The Imperfect Advocate".

I share my IEE request letter and ultimately the IEP revocation letter that lead up to the final withdrawal from public school education all together.

I want to share my experience to help parents understand that if they are currently in the public school and special education battle, they're not alone. I have been there too. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

My hope is that season 2 will help people realize and empathize with other homeschool families like myself. Parents should work together to facilitate change and fight for all education to improve to work for the families that the tax dollars are from.

What is neuroaffirming homeschooling? It's an educational approach that acknowledges and celebrates neurodiversity. It recognizes that every child's brain is wired uniquely, and embraces neuroscience to best teach and parent children in a homeschool setting.
