Description
Episode Description:
In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with parent advocate Paul Roback, we dive deeper into the realities families face when navigating special education in public schools. Paul exposes the systemic delays, funding roadblocks, and deficit-based mindsets that often prevent children from receiving the support they need—and deserve.
This episode is a guide for parents who refuse to be silenced. Paul shares actionable strategies for documenting communication, challenging school decisions, and building networks of informed advocates. From understanding IEPs to asserting your right to observe classrooms, this is essential listening for anyone ready to stand up, speak out, and protect their child’s educational journey.
Whether you’re new to advocacy or already labeled a “troublemaker,” this episode will remind you: persistence is power, and public schools belong to the public.
