Welcome back to The Affirming Village Podcast with Dr. Destiny Huff, LPC, and IEP Coach Lisa Baskin Wright.

This episode continues our powerful conversation on self-advocacy, this time going even deeper — from what self-advocacy means to how we actually support it in our neurodivergent children, students, clients, and even in ourselves.

Inside Episode 10 (Part 2), we discuss:

• The difference between permission and power in advocacy

• How adults unintentionally silence self-advocacy attempts

• What it looks like to proactively model and honor advocacy in school and home settings

• How service providers, educators, and caregivers can support without overcorrecting

• Bridging the gap between emotional regulation and empowered communication

• Implementing neuroaffirming practices in real time — even when systems resist

Self-advocacy is not just a concept. It’s a skill. It needs practice, modeling, and space to grow.

🧠 If you want to raise or support a child who confidently advocates for their needs — this episode is essential.
