What Can I Do?: Advocating for children with disabilities

Vicky McKinney is the program director for the parent training information and training program at Partnerships for Action and Voices for Empowerment. She started her journey in advocacy when she adopted a foster child whom she later learned had been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Realizing that there was little support or information for parents of children with specific disabilities, bringing awareness to what McKinney believes to be an ignored issue became her personal mission. Through her work, McKinney establishes her strong belief in parent activism and empowerment. Listen in as McKinney discusses her journey and what parents can do to advocate for their children.
