It is hard to stay on top of all the social media information, but it is important to keep abreast of what is going on in special education. These are the people I follow to help me learn new strategies for kids as well as information on changes in government policy.
There are thought leaders who are changing the way we see education. I also follow other advocates to see what they are working and gain new ideas for helping my clients. I have also included many parents, some of whom are advocates and some focus on raising awareness of parenting special needs kids.
