Protecting and Preparing Back to School Edition with Cheryl Poe

The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC, and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but for themselves as well. Today we are joined by Cheryl Poe, Founder, and Owner of Advocating 4 Kids, Inc., a special education advocacy organization that provides resources, information, and workshops to parents and professionals with a special focus on addressing the needs of black and brown children with disabilities. We are aware that as parents, we want to be involved in and on top of our kids' lives. Listen in to today's episode to hear Cheryl and I discuss safeguarding and preparing for back-to-school. Cheryl will offer some advice and suggestions on how we can protect and secure our kids for the upcoming school year. We discuss Kindergarten all the way through high school.
