In this Episode, Laurie and Abbey introduce their special guest, Anna Popp, an educator advocate from Popp Educational Services and Advocacy. Anna shares her journey into advocacy, which was shaped by her experience as a parent of children with disabilities and her career in education and nonprofit work. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the rights of children with disabilities, a knowledge she gained only after her own children entered public school. This episode focuses on how parents can navigate the education system to ensure their children receive the support they need.
