Identifying what information is needed and filtering through the wealth of options out there is a skill I have honed throughout my nearly three decades living in the disability community. I can reduce large volumes of information to manageable starting points for families who feel overwhelmed by the prospect of tackling specific areas of concern for their loved one. Advocacy Training It is critical for any parent or guardian of a child living with a disability to effectively advocate for the rights and benefits of their child. Empowering a parent by teaching them appropriate, useful advocacy skills, serves them and their child on a continual basis for the remainder of their lives. Everyone has varying levels of natural skills in this area. However, everyone has the potential to serve as a powerful advocate for their child when equipped with the right knowledge and training. For those who need support in this area, I offer training on how to effectively communicate with the various providers and entities involved in your child’s treatment and care to get desired results.
