<p>Cheyanne Marcy has been an advocate on big stages, on everyday social media platforms and in day-to-day life on behalf of her son, Archer (5). She values action and advocacy – and has navigated not one, not two, but three state education systems.</p> <p><img style="float: right;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/122113/20191030_091514.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="387" /></p> <p>She writes, “… I learned I was not doing enough to advocate for my child’s needs. Advocacy begins in your home, with our family and friends. It is all too easy to clam up and keep quiet. Sometimes feeling like you are explaining things over and over, then these people are close to you, so offense is taken. The challenge exists consistently.”</p> <p>We sit down to talk about overcoming the fear of speaking up, vital services and resources for kids with CVI and NeuroMovement.</p> <p> </p> <p>Resources:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.lighthouseguild.org/patients-families/tele-support-services/support-for-parents/parent-tele-support-group-enrollment/"> Lighthouse Guild Tele-Support Enrollment</a> or email moderator <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Judith Millman</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.sylvia.live/">NeuroMovement practitioner Sylvia Shordike</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.neuroconnect.world/">Find a NeuroMovement practitioner near you</a></p> <p><a href="https://neuromovement.com/">NeuroMovement</a></p> <p><a href= "https://sparkingtheneurons.blogspot.com/">sparkingtheneurons.blogspot.com</a></p>
