FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
Episode 70 highlights Tara Murphy of "The Parenting Frontier". Tara Murphy is the mother of two children diagnosed with developmental disabilities. She has successfully secured effective therapies for them from medical insurance and appropriate educations from her school district. This included multiple, due process hearings. Six years of experience in advocating for her own children has made Tara want to fight for other children as well. Tara believes that advocating for children with disabilities should begin as early as possible in order to maximize their outcomes. Based in New Jersey, Tara is knowledgeable about state practices and the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), which applies to children in every state. Tara is a SPAN Resource Parent, a Volunteer Advocacy Ambassador for Autism Speaks member of the Somerset County, NJ Advisory Council on Disability Issues and member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA).
In this resourceful episode, Tara discusses the following topics: her family's journey and what led her to become a parent advocate, her current work through "The Parenting Frontier", services and supports offered through "The Parenting Frontier" and words of encouragement and hope for parents and caregivers of children / teens with developmental disabilities / neurodiversity.
