My child had autism.

I didn't want him stuck in a corner coloring while they taught the other kids to read.

And then they informed me that they wanted to retain him.

And I'm like, well, that's news to me.

From that point on, I started taking all of my

legal education to keep my law license, I knew that I was going to have to fight for my kid.

I started with my son.

My daughter's got dyslexia.

So, you know, you had to fight through all that.

And I'm just thinking, you know, people really need help out here.

I've written these self-help books because people can't afford attorneys.

So I really would like for people to have those tools in their hands so they can help their kids.

Just Kelly.

Oh, well, you're going to learn that I had kind of a rough upbringing in Wrightsville, Georgia.

Then you're going to learn about how I went through law school and that whole thing.

And then now, how I've gone through things with my own kids and their learning challenges to writing some books, which I never thought I'd be doing.

And just trying to help other families get through the public school experience.

The public school experience.
