advocating for your dyslexic child

When you are navigating your dyslexia parenting journey, one of your many roles as a parent will be to advocate for your child.   
I teamed up with attorney and parent advocate, Ashely Barlow,  to help you learn all about how to navigate your advocacy role, including when you should hire an advocate.
