Advocate, single mother of a 7 year old categorized at mod/severe. I navigated resources and advocated against school districts and healthcare systems single-handedly while attending the number 1 university of the world, UC Berkeley. While at Cal, I studied Wright's book on federal education laws and mastered laws such as IDEA, Sec 504 and ADA to protect my son's rights and spread information to other caregivers of special needs children.
