Beyond the Classroom: Navigating Services for Children with Disabilities with Abby McCarthy

Author: William Umansky October 24, 2024 Duration: 51:12
This week on The Lawman’s Lounge, I’m hanging out with Abby McCarthy, a school psychologist who knows exactly how to cut through the school system’s red tape. 🎙️ She used to be on the inside, working in public schools, but now she’s helping families privately—because let’s be real, figuring out how to get kids the services they need shouldn’t be this hard.

Abby’s all about making sure parents don’t walk into meetings feeling lost or blindsided by the process. Her passion? Making sure families know their rights, get the right support, and aren’t stuck waiting for answers.

If you’ve ever dealt with the frustration of navigating school plans and services, this episode is a must. Abby brings humor, energy, and straight-up honesty to the conversation. Don’t miss it!
