Lisa Lightner is a nationally known, award-winning Special Education Advocate and founder of A Day in Our Shoes, a website that helps millions of parents and teachers navigate the IEP and 504 process. A special needs parent herself, she’s been in the trenches since 2010—explaining the process in plain language, and showing parents how to get the support their kids need at school.
