    In this inspiring and deeply informative episode, Dr. Charles Powell returns to Navigating Life with Vision Loss to tackle a powerful topic: Youth Advocacy. He and Kim discuss the urgent need to equip blind and low-vision youth—and their families—with the tools to advocate for themselves. From navigating inaccessible classroom materials to asserting their rights in higher education and the workforce, Dr. Powell brings clarity, urgency, and hope to the conversation.
    He shares real-world experiences, practical strategies for families and educators, and the importance of knowing laws like the ADA and IDEA. Dr. Powell also emphasizes that advocacy is a learned skill, best taught early and modeled by parents, mentors, and communities.
