    How to Advocate for a Child’s Disability-Related Learning Needs with retired school principle, Debbie Stern - Pt 1
    2026/07/17
    It can be an immense stress to advocate for your child’s success in a school system. In this first of a two-part conversation, retired school principal, Febbie Stern, shares invaluable insight on how to do it. You’ll learn how to approach your school board in practical ways that will be far more likely to achieve positive outcomes. The short version: the teachers are not your adversaries. They want to work with you, not against you. And you should be ready to work with them in return.

    Disability rights advocacy is often not something you will do on your own. You frequently work with others. Naturally, differences in opinion happen. That’s why learning to successfully navigate coalitions and build common ground are crucial for anyone involved in advocacy.

She teaches us how to find common ground and circumnavigate pitfalls. As always, this episode includes practical, actionable tips on how to apply what we learn from our guests.
