About this listen

This November, let’s pause to celebrate progress — not perfection. In this week’s episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, explores how gratitude can become one of a parent’s most powerful advocacy tools.


Learn how practicing gratitude helps reduce stress, foster collaboration, and highlight what’s working in your child’s IEP or 504 journey. Dominique shares practical ideas you can start today — like keeping a “progress gratitude list,” sending thank-you notes to teachers, and reframing communication with appreciation instead of anxiety.


💡 Quick Takeaway: Gratitude doesn’t mean accepting less — it’s about building stronger partnerships and recognizing growth along the way.
