Kai’s article “The Student Experience” for APH’s In Touch newsletter arrived in our mailbox today! I’m so proud of him for sharing his story. He was excited that APH sent him both print and Braille versions. He loves being able to read his own mail.

Print version of article is laying on top of a Braille version. #braille #braillereader #brailleadvocacy #blindstudents #mainstream #proudmom #rpawareness #aph #advocacy

Just keep swimming. • We survived the ridiculously long 8-hour mediation proceeding on Friday. Reached an agreement which, if properly implemented, should improve Kai’s accessibility in the classroom. Thank you all for your support. • ID: Competition swimming pool under a dome. • #justkeepswimming #stressrelief #mediation #braillereader #blindstudents #advocatelikeamother #fightlikeagirl #navigatingblindness

Friday at 8:30 AM we will begin formal mediation with the school system over accessible materials — All kids deserve an appropriate education. • There will be an equal number of people at the table including an advocate & a mediator.• ID: caption reads “I‘m not sure why Mr. Barth always feels compelled to bring an advocate to the IEP meeting.” Comic shows 2 men are sitting across the table from a large crowd of men. #blindstudent #justice #advocatelikeamother #fightlikeamother #beagoodhuman #iep #mediation #civilrights #idea #fape
