Being That Parent does not mean you have to read the state special education manual.

Being That Parent does not mean you have to understand what needs to be in a Prior Written Notice.

Being That Parent does not mean you have to read the Procedural Safeguards Notice.

We'll be live on Thursday, Sept. 15th at Noon Mtn. Time, 2 pm ET, 1 pm CT, 11 am PT, on my Visions and Voices Together Facebook page.

Some lessons l re-learned this past week:

* When I view the world through my white privileged bias I am part of  the problem.

* Take time to nurture friendships.

* I have a choice of how I react.

* Nature is healing for my soul.

Let's keep learning together!
