How can I be a better advocate?

Inspired by her own son with disabilities, Lisa Lightner is an award-winning blogger and advocate. She has previously worked for her county's Arc and has served on the Boards of Directors for several disability organizations.&nbsp; Currently, she is her county's chairperson for the Right to Education Task Force, a federally decreed group set up in 1971 to ensure that all children in Pennsylvania had the opportunity to an education.&nbsp; When not attending IEP meetings with families or lobbying in Harrisburg and DC for disability rights, she can be found on the web at her IEP advice blog, A Day in our Shoes. She is known for her practical, realistic and implementable advice for parents. Warning: I've been told I have a Philly accent. I don't hear it. Also, I curse. It's something I'm working on as far as personal development. So please don't be put off. I'm trying. 📣Preorder my book on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Your-IEP-Playbook-Confident-Advocacy/dp/1394294468/">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Your-IEP-Playbook/Lisa-Lightner/9781394294466">Books-A-Million</a><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/your-iep-playbook-a-parent-s-guide-to-confident-advocacy/7e69feec76e48003?ean=9781394294466&amp;next=t">Bookshop.org</a><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/your-iep-playbook-lisa-lightner/1147083558?ean=9781394294466">Barnes &amp; Noble</a>!&nbsp;
