Advocacy Done Right.... and Wrong
In this episode of All Abilities, No Filter, we sit down with Janetta Bryant, CEO of Abilities Workshop and author of the new book Autism Advocacy Interrupted. Together, we take a deep dive into the world of advocacy—exploring not only the positive impact that effective advocacy can bring, but also the challenges and pitfalls that can arise when it goes wrong. Janetta introduces listeners to the different archetypes of advocates, offering insight into how each one influences families, schools, and communities. This candid and thoughtful conversation touches on topics that are rarely discussed, yet are highly relevant to anyone navigating the world of disability support and advocacy. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or community member, this episode provides a fresh perspective on what it means to advocate well—and what to watch out for when good intentions miss the mark. https://www.abilitiesworkshop.com/
