Rewriting the IEP Narrative: The Affirming Village

This episode features a new empowering podcast called The Affirming Village which focuses on creating more neuroaffirming spaces for neurodivergent and disabled learners--a topic that comes up regularly at ICDL's parent support meetings. Dr. Destiny Huff, LPC and Educator Lisa Baskin Wright talk about their personal experiences as neurodivergent mothers advocating for their children in ableist school settings, about their professional work in this area, the biases families face, and their new podcast that provides a neuroaffirming space to discuss these issues.
