  • Saving grace for a frustrated parent

    I found Ashley during a time when we were exhausted from the amount of “fighting” we had to do with our child’s school to have her seen as a child and not a disability.

I find myself going back and re-listening to older episodes to take some notes... more

I didn’t know any of the laws, or my rights, I had no idea the district should hav... more
