Susan Magers

Susan Magers is a mom of two children with disabilities. She has spent the better part of the last two decades providing advocacy services and parent workshops to assist caregivers in understanding the process of developing an individualized education program for their child with special learning needs.

“MOMS MOVE MOUNTAINS: Special Education Survival Skills for Parents” is a compilation of the knowledge gained through many years of experience while attending IEP meetings with families and working with school staff to develop family-friendly practices and policies.

Her latest work, SOUL SURVIVOR: A Practical Guide for the New Widow combines her knowledge of navigating systems with her heart-wrenching personal experience of suddenly becoming a widow to assemble a concise and useful road map focused on helping other spouses get through the first six months after the loss of a partner.
