Meet Ashley Barlow, a powerhouse in special education advocacy and law. Fueled by her experience as a general education teacher and her journey advocating for her son, Jack, who has Down syndrome, Ashley has become a beacon of support and education for parents and educators. She co-owns Meier & Barlow Law Firm, focusing on special education and special needs estate planning, and runs Ashley Barlow Co., an online resource hub featuring a podcast and courses to empower IEP team members. When she's not changing lives, she's at the pool with her family or enjoying a coffee in her vintage 1975 Volkswagen bus.
