Advocating for your child when school systems won’t bend
About this episode
Jessica talks with education advocate Tricia McGhee about advocating for neurodivergent kids in school systems that resist flexibility.
Our episode today starts with that call from school every parent dreads… Jessica talks with mom and education advocate Tricia McGhee after a classroom discipline incident forces a bigger conversation about neurodivergent kids and school systems that just aren’t built to flex. In this episode, we’re also looking at what happens when getting a diagnosis doesn’t lead to help or services — and why collaboration with schools matters just as much as understanding our own kids.
