A is for Advocacy: Principles for Academic Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717216830)

Meet Emme Smith, founder of The Parent Pal (TM) brand. She is a counselor, coach, author, activist, and self- proclaimed superhero mom. After learning of her son's ADHD diagnosis in 2010, Emme has propelled full throttle into the world of advocacy, coining the quote, "Learning disabilities are simply superpowers waiting to be developed."(TM) In her first published work, an ebook titled, A is for Advocacy, Emme walks us through five essential principles of effectively advocating for your child during their educational journey. She has since begun writing her second book titled, The ABC's of IEPs: A Practical Guide for the Confused Parent. As an advocate for student success, Emme is dedicated to empowering parents to awaken their inner superhero through advocacy. Her dedication to this movement is rooted in the words of the late Dr. Rita Pierson, "Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be." As a result of their work with The Parent Pal (TM), parents are transformed and inspired to have an active voice and definitive role in their child's academic success.
