Dare 2 Be An Advocate: Motherhood, Autism and Awareness

In this episode I got to talk to mom and advocate, Erika Patrick. Erika talks candidly about her journey of motherhood and raising two children with Autism. She helps us understand what Autism is and how they knew they needed to reach out for help. Erika  shares her how and her husband fought to get their children quality services to provide them with the best opportunities. Erika shares how research, knowing your rights and embracing the support of family has been essential for their family. Erika is developing plans to launch More Than Words, which will share her family's experiences in hopes of helping other family's navigate theirs.  For additional information and opportunities to support Autism Awareness and Acceptance: The Autism Community in Action (TACA) www.tacanow.org  https://spanadvocacy.org https://m.facebook.com/Mom2MomNJ
