My new book, The Courage to Advocate, is officially available on Amazon.

This guide gives parents the tools, scripts, templates, and confidence to navigate IEPs, behaviour plans, school communication, incidents, and placement decisions—no matter where you live or which school district your child attends.

If you’ve found my free advocacy support helpful over the years, purchasing a copy is a wonderful way to help me continue offering free services to families.
