Individuals who are self-advocates and the families of children with
disabilities are their own best advocates. There are great resources
for learning tips, tricks and techniques for effective advocacy.
“The only pure and consistent advocates for a child are his or her parents
or family members,” explains Betsy Primm, coordinator of Georgia Learning
Resource Services Metro-North branch. “That doesn’t mean that educators
don’t advocate every day for their students, but year in and year out, that
is a parent’s role.”
