Tiffany is a Wisconsin mother who became a disability rights advocate when she realized no one was going to fight for her autistic son’s rights as hard as she would. Convinced that she would turn her own child’s negative early experience into positive change for him and others, she dove into the obstacles families face in accessing special education services, where the funding comes from, policy, and how to change policy. She worked to rebuild a positive relationship with her district, increase parent/district collaboration, and give families a seat at the table. Her path eventually led her to the Family Leadership Institute with Wisconsin Family Voices and Partners in Policymaking with the Board for People with Developmental Disabilities. She believes that education is a right all children and adults should be able to access without unnecessary fights or barriers to overcome. Tiffany fully endorses being “that” parent.
