Episode 3 - Advocacy

In this podcast we explore advocacy for children with special needs. Our special guest, Jane Friou, is on the Board of the Down Syndrome Association of Houston. Jane is the mother of an 18-year-old with Down syndrome and she has become a passionate advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She shares her personal journey, from navigating early challenges to becoming a force for systemic change in education and healthcare. The discussion highlights the importance of parental advocacy, legal safeguards for special education, medical advocacy, and pushing for stronger individualized education plans (IEPs). The episode provides a wealth of resources and strategies for parents looking to navigate and improve the systems that impact their children’s lives.Links to additional content:
