Meet Ann

My name is Ann Bledsoe, and I'm a mom of a 24 year old man with autism. I've been involved with Special education as a parent for 18 years - in three states. I've met many parents like me, and we are all seeking anwers and solutions. Over the years I've read, studied and learned as much as I could about special education law and the IEP process. Along the way I also learned a few coping strategies. I hope that my experience will be helpful to you.
