Chrissy had talked with representatives at her local Down syndrome organization and her state\u2019s disability rights staff but was still putting out fires advocating for her two children. Then, her Down syndrome organization gave her a scholarship to my Special Education & Advocacy Lab. \r\n\n \r\n\nIn just a little over 8 hours of content and the passion that lives in her soul, Chrissy empowered herself to become a more effective and efficient advocate for her children. In fact, she was so inspired by the Lab that Chrissy is now working as a surrogate for other children in her kids\u2019 school district that need advocates at the IEP table! \r\n\n \r\n\nDuring our chat, Chrissy said, \u201cI was Googling, and I didn\u2019t know the parts of the IEP, and then when COVID hit, it was like a whole new set of problems\u2026 that sparked me\u2026 \u2018I need to know this stuff.\u2019 I had attended [a few seminars] and I didn\u2019t think I was going to need them.
