You’ve read the history and the background, now meet the families! This companion book to traces the advocacy journeys of 12 caregivers across a range of racial, ethnic, social, disability, economic, and family identities. The stories reflect the unique lives, histories, and needs of each family, as well as the different approaches they employ to meet the needs of their children. Caregivers indicate when they began to advocate; describe how they continue their efforts across schools, medical offices, therapies, communities, and virtual spaces; and discuss how they adapt to changing social and health climates and educational delivery modes. While highlighting gaps and challenges across multiple systems, this book also recognizes “what’s working” with stories of true collaboration between practitioners and everyday people. This guidebook is essential reading for parent advocates, teachers, administrators, physicians, health care personnel, therapists, policymakers, and community members invested in creating a culture of respect, love and understanding.
