In this episode, Colleen is joined by Dr. Destiny Huff and Lisa Baskin Wright for a thought-provoking conversation that spans many topics and two episodes! In this episode they discuss personal experiences with introducing neurodiversity affirming practices to IEP team members and Dr. Destiny Huff gives examples of how to find the "ins" through authentic curiosity and asking the thoughtful questions. Lisa Baskin Wright talks about how she "front loads" during IEP meetings to repair the school-home relationship and set the stage for future collaboration. Colleen shares why she chose to call herself and "advocate" despite some advice that it should be avoided because the word puts school teams on edge. Listeners will also find out how Dr. Huff and Lisa met and what big project they are working on together!
