A Day In Our Shoes

"Lisa Lightner is a nationally known, award-winning Special Education Advocate and founder of A Day in Our Shoes, a website that helps millions of parents and teachers navigate the IEP and 504 process. A special needs parent herself, she’s been in the trenches since 2010—explaining the process in plain language, and showing parents how to get the support their kids need at school. She’s the creator of Don’t IEP Alone, a hub of online special education advocacy training courses and tools. You can find her work, free resources, and signature sarcasm at A Day in our Shoes or Don't IEP Alone, and most social networks." ~ Amazon Books

What is Autism?

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and processes information. It’s called a “spectrum” because it varies widely from person to person—some people need a lot of support in daily life, while others may live independently.

Common characteristics include:

  • Challenges with social communication (like reading body language or understanding tone)

  • Repetitive behaviors or routines

  • Deep focus or strong interest in specific topics

  • Sensory sensitivities (like being very sensitive to sounds, lights, or textures)

Autism is not an illness or something to be “fixed.” It’s a different way of experiencing the world. Many autistic individuals have incredible strengths in areas like memory, creativity, or attention to detail.

Awareness and acceptance are key. Everyone deserves understanding and the space to thrive in their own way 💙

Rocket Lawyer

A vision for justice. Laws are intended to protect and empower us—but for many, justice is out of reach. Most small businesses and hard-working, everyday people don’t have access to affordable legal services to help them put their affairs in writing or enforce their rights with reliable counsel.

“At Rocket Lawyer, we want to make the digital tools of justice available to more people than ever before. I’m proud to say that since our founding in 2008, nearly 30 million people have created Rocket Lawyer accounts. That equates to over 1 in 9 American adults who can make and sign legal documents, get affordable attorney advice, and incorporate their businesses with confidence. That’s legal made simple.”

Founder and CEO
