Turning the Tables: How to Face Evaluations and Advocate for Your Child

How do you handle evaluations when every question feels like a punch to the gut, and the evaluators hold all the power over your child's future?

If you're a parent of a child with a rare disease, evaluations can feel like a never-ending series of heartbreaks and hurdles—whether it's for early intervention, an IEP, or critical funding like Medicaid. But what if you could reframe these evaluations as tools to help your child thrive?

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How to answer tough evaluation questions without heartbreak.

  • How to shift your mindset and see evaluations as opportunities, not obstacles.

  • How to advocate effectively, ensuring your child gets the resources and support they need.

Don’t let evaluations control your journey--hit play now to learn how to turn the tables and use these tools to set your child up for success.
