"She shouldn't have to be put on a bus and spend 45 minutes on a bus one way to go to school," explains Pat Howey of her daughter's experience at six years old being sent to a school for children with physical disabilities. Pat discusses her educational advocacy for her daughter in the late 1980s in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, sharing how those experiences lead her to become a nationally known special education advocate and consultant. Pat was interviewed in Indianapolis in 2016.
