Product Description:

As families raising children who have special health care needs and disabilities, our daily lives are likely more directly impacted by the policy decisions of our elected officials than those of our neighbors. Does this mean that this group of families is more engaged in public policy, advocacy and partisan politics? Should it? The answers and issues are complex, so complex that now is the perfect time to start planning to increase engagement for both this policy cycle and for future elections.
