Start the School Year Informed, Prepared, and Ready to Advocate
A free podcast and video series for parents raising neurodiverse children—with the experiences of Black families centered, not treated as an afterthought.
Get practical guidance for reviewing your child’s IEP, introducing your child to a new teacher, documenting missing services, preparing for school meetings, and deciding what needs your attention next.
You don’t have to know everything before the school year begins. You need a clear place to start—and support that helps you move forward.
