As she began doing her own research and joining different support groups, she connected with other families going through similar challenges. She not only got her son the resources and support he needed to thrive in the school system but made it her mission to help families like yours do so, too. That’s when Ask the Advocate was born. Over the past 22 years, Maureen has resolved thousands of cases, offering solutions such as private education with transportation without high lawyer fees. Most of all, she loves receiving letters, emails, and texts from families she has helped and seeing the impact of her work for decades to follow. https://asktheadvocate.org/ [https://asktheadvocate.org/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
