Parent. Advocacy. Tribunal. Help (PATH)
Navigating external complaint systems in the K-12 education systems for systemic change and accountability.
Rights-based advocacy for children with disabilities and neurodivergent children.
Your internal school advocacy process will be very important. What your internal advocacy experience and documentation have been like will impact your experience navigating external complaint systems.
All complaint systems are like silos, each with its own process and connection to different legislation. It is important to know which complaint system will be the one that is capable of resolving your issues.
Understanding the Duty to Accommodate and using rights-based language can be the very tool that may actually ensure that you will not need to navigate these systems.
Children with disabilities are protected under the Human Rights Code.
Mission
My mission is to empower parents with knowledge to navigate external complaint systems. What I offer is a Sunday brunch style of information, and it is up to you to reflect on your own family’s needs, resources and capacity to decide what will fit your life.
I don’t fish for you, I teach you how to fish.
