If you’ve watched the news recently, you know that there are some HUGE changes happening in our government, especially with the Department of Education. We’re breaking it all down today with our guest host, Ashley Barlow! She’s a mother to a son with Down syndrome, special education attorney advocate, IEP expert, former teacher, current speaker and podcaster. We are so grateful she’s here to cover all these topics:

  • Why did the administration take action so quickly?

  • What exactly is the HR 899 bill and how will it affect students with disabilities?

  • If the DOE gets dismantled and then redistributed, which other departments will be in control?

  • What can parents do right now to protect their children in schools?

There’s a lot to unpack here, friends! Regardless of your political party, we hope you join us for this conversation so we can stand together in agreeance on what our kids deserve in their schools. Let’s dive in.
