Until now, parents have been barred from effective advocacy by lack of information and isolation. The Internet is changing the status quo.
Over the next several months, our blog posts will provide a self-help study plan that good parent advocates need to have.
You’ll learn how to plan and prepare to be an effective advocate, and find out where to go to get the information you need.
Today’s blog is the first of our six week Self-Study Advocacy Program for the New Parent.
