This week, we are joined by Jessica Wilbur and her lawyer, Tessa Muir, to discuss a personal experience that highlights the challenges families of autistic children can face in school settings. Together, we’ll talk about how schools, parents, and legal systems can work better to understand and support neurodiverse students. Download to learn more!

Tessa Muir is a partner at SBBL Law, where she leads the firm's nationwide Title IX law practice. Title IX governs how almost all schools in the United States respond to allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault, from the elementary through university level. As a Title IX advisor, Tessa advocates for students and staff members through the school's investigative and decision-making process, and she serves both complainants and respondents. Tessa has helped many families of students with Autism and other forms of neurodiversity to navigate the Title IX process for a fair and successful outcome. https://sbbllaw.com/tessa-muir
