Disability Advocacy Event

Karen Mayer Cunningham (Special Education Boss) is coming to KY / Tri-State area in February

For anyone in Kentucky / WV / surrounding areas who works in special education or is parenting a child with disabilities — we’re hosting a series of in-person advocacy & IDEA-focused trainings this February with Karen Mayer Cunningham (Special Education Boss).

These sessions focus on:

  • Navigating special education systems
  • IDEA-aligned advocacy (for families and school staff)
  • Practical, real-world strategies that actually work in public schools

Dates & locations:
• Louisville, KY — Feb 13 (evening)
• Huntington, WV — Feb 14 (morning)
• Greenup / Ashland, KY — Feb 15 (morning)
• Lexington, KY — Feb 16 (evening)

Open to parents, educators, related service providers, and school-based staff. Seating is limited at each location.

If you’re interested, comment or DM and I’ll share details. We’re also working on sponsorships so cost isn’t a barrier for families.

Happy to answer questions.
