Back to school = back to advocacy for parents of kids with disabilities & complex needs. It's exhausting, overwhelming & isolating. Why does it have to be a battle every year? BCEdAccess Jennifer Whiteside 🇨🇦 #autism #bcpoli #education learnpatientadvocacy.com/blog/2022/8/26…

There's a lot of talk about inclusion, but resistance to making the changes needed to support all kids. It's time to focus on the gifts it brings to all students. BCEdAccess #autism #bcpoli Jennifer Whiteside 🇨🇦 #inclusiveeducation learnpatientadvocacy.com/blog/2022/10/2…

Taking a curiosity mindset frees us from our biases, assumptions & judgements. It allows us to be open to new perspectives. I chatted about curiosity w/ Cecilia Sepp on Nonprofit Conversations. #nonprofit #communications youtube.com/watch?v=xoZadF…

Wouldn't it be great if kids w disabilities received the support they need to go from surviving to thriving w/o having to advocate for the basics? Until then, I'll continue to advocate for my child and other kids. #autism BCEdAccess Jennifer Whiteside 🇨🇦 learnpatientadvocacy.com/blog/2023/1/6/…

I'm excited to be joining @canadaspodcast as the new host for BC. As the #1 entrepreneur podcast in Canada, I'm looking forward to talking to amazing individuals who are creating their own path. #entrepreneurs #podcast #storytelling canadaspodcast.com/about-us/

As our kids grow we shift from being their voice to megaphone to cheerleader. While we wish it wasn't needed, self-advocacy is a key skill to help kids have their voice heard. #Autism #advocacy BCEdAccess AutismBC learnpatientadvocacy.com/blog/2023/3/13…

👩‍👧‍👧Did you know that autistic women and girls are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed? 😔 This is due to a shortage of specialists, masking, misdiagnosis, phenotype differences, and lack of research. 🔬📚 Read autismbc.ca/blog/assessmen… to find out more. #latenotless

I presented to the BC Finance Committee on need to increase education funding to support kids w disabilities. All kids deserve an education, but many are being left behind due to lack of resources. I spoke as a mom on raw reality of how we’re failing kids. #bcpoli BCEdAccess

The topic of gender inequality recently was raised at a conference and EVERY SINGLE WOMAN had a story of disparaging comments in the workplace. These comments erode a woman's confidence and need to stop. #WomenEmpowerment #womeninbusiness #inequality howtocommunications.com/gender-inequal…

April is Autism Acceptance Month. Despite all the talk little progress is being made on supporting these individuals so they can go from surviving to thriving. We MUST do more. #Autism #AutismAcceptanceMonth #bcpoli learnpatientadvocacy.com/blog/2024/4/2/…
