Being both a district employee and a parent of a child with a disability in that same district can be one of the most isolating positions a person will ever stand in. On paper, you’re “part of the team.” In reality, the moment you begin advocating for your own child, you often become the problem. As an advocate, I have at least five current families navigating this exact situation, and I’ve lived it myself. The pattern is disturbingly consistent: • You ask for evaluations. • You request data. •
