In this episode, you'll meet Heather, one of our hosts and the Development Director at Homesteads for Hope. Heather will tell you about how she became an advocate long before many knew what the word "Autism" meant. She will share how her professional background and life experiences have made her a powerful advocate for her own children (all four with varying levels of special need), as well as 1000s across the US. Heather will hit on some hard truths that the special needs community currently faces and while she admits her life is exhausting, you will be impressed with her positive energy and dedication to helping others. For the first time, Heather will share unpublicized details regarding her federal court battle, how she set a legal precedent for the country, and the ways she continues to fight for change through her work at the farm and as a writer, public speaker, and educator.
