Interview with Barbara Lefler

Getting organized

You eventually paid for private therapy for your son, and you found that you were not alone. There were other families in the district that were doing the same thing. What was your next step?

Your son testified before the school board, too, didn't he? How did that go?

What was the outcome of your efforts? Were there changes made?

How did you connect the LDA, then?

At your first conference of LDA of Alaska, you talked about the need for the backing of a larger, national organization.
