Thank you to everyone who joined our workshop at today!

We had a full room and a powerful conversation on special education advocacy, IEPs, 504 plans, and what families are navigating in today’s political climate.

Most importantly, thank you to the incredible parent leaders who shared their lived experiences, advocacy, and leadership. Your honesty, wisdom, and commitment to showing up for children and families made this space so meaningful.
