The Everyday Advocate is the definitive guide for parents, educators and caregivers of children with autism. It will provide you with the tools you need to handle the maze of misinformation, conflicting medical advice and astonishing lack of awareness about autism.
Based on her years of experience as a Harvard attorney and a mother of an autistic child, Areva Martin provides the useful hands-on advice that every parent needs to know. Moving past the debates about what causes autism, she focused on vital, practical issues, showing you how to:- identify the most important services and get them
- choose the best schools and treatments
- deal with difficult school administrators and insensitive bystanders
- integrate your autistic child into your loving family
- know which legal rights affect your child's quality of life the most
The Seven Principles of Advocacy will give you the skills to apply this knowledge. They will not only strengthen your ability to succeed in getting what you need in every area of your life, but they will make you a powerfully effective advocate for your autistic child.
