Neuroaffirming Advocacy: A Neuroaffirming Guide to Special Education Services is a practical guide for parents, caregivers, educators, related service providers, and advocates who want to better understand special education through a neuroaffirming, learner-centered lens. In this physical guide, Dr. Destiny Huff, LPC, combines professional expertise, lived experience, and special education advocacy insight to help readers move beyond compliance-based approaches and toward supports rooted in access, regulation, communication, autonomy, dignity, and belonging. This book walks readers through foundational neuroaffirming practices, special education rights, evaluations, eligibility, IEP development, parent input, present levels, accommodations, modifications, behavior support, meaningful goals, related services, and advocacy strategies. It also encourages IEP teams to consider the whole learner, including sensory needs, communication differences, executive functioning, emotional regulation, motor planning, identity, mental health, and the impact of bias. Whether you are preparing for an IEP meeting, learning how to advocate more confidently, supporting a neurodivergent learner, or rethinking special education through a more affirming framework, this book offers practical guidance, reflection, and language to help you advocate with clarity and confidence. Perfect for: Parents, caregivers, educators, advocates, therapists, related service providers, school teams, and professionals seeking a more inclusive and neuroaffirming approach to special education. Physical Copy Note: This paperback version is ideal for readers who prefer to highlight, take notes, mark pages, and keep a practical advocacy resource available during IEP meetings, trainings, consultations, and school planning conversations.
