Embracing Autism IRL - Meet Laura Hales, Autism Advocate & Author

Laura Hales is a Mother of two autistic children, autism advocate, and author who recently began writing true stories about her autistic children. She was inspired to promote autism acceptance when she discovered the current literature available was severely lacking. Laura’s mission is to create a more inclusive world for her sons and neurodivergent children like him.

In today's episode, we discuss how to advocate for your child in school, important 'buzzwords' you should know, your child's rights, and what parents can do to make sure their voices are heard during those critical IEP meetings.
