For this episode, I speak with Mary Beth Moore, author of the book: Unwanted: Fighting to Belong. Mary Beth Moore is the founder and executive director of The Advocacy Underground, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the authentic inclusion of students with disabilities across all educational environments. She studied political science and criminal justice at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte before joining the U.S. Marine Corps. She served as an intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense for several years, and then transitioned to a marketing leader in the high-tech space. She uses the storytelling skills gained as an intelligence analyst and marketing leader to make the complexities in special education law and research more consumable by parents and educators alike.    Thanks for listening, and if you haven't already, please give us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Otter.ai Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/xsVMU_PN0JPESDTJbqePGKK30YYPDF Transcript: https://3bd6e695-b492-4878-afa9-f79d8b09e0c4.usrfiles.com/ugd/3bd6e6_7838a942c65b4f428cef5e59ac357c3d.pdfShow Notes: https://bit.ly/TI-UnwantedCover Art Image Description: black background; think inclusive logo in the top left; rainbow-colored waves overlayed with the headshot of Mary Beth Moore; text reads: Mary Beth Moore; Unwanted; MCIE logo in the bottom rightCreditsThink Inclusive is written, edited, and sound designed by Tim Villegas and is produced by MCIE.Original music by Miles Kredich.Support Think Inclusive by becoming a patron!Thank you to our sponsor, TogetherLetters.
