On this powerful episode, we are joined by husband and wife, Dr. Michelle Medeiros and Dr. Henry Medeiros. They join us on the podcast to share their journey as parents raising a child with disability, specifically through the educational system. Michelle and Henry vulnerably share their experience with learning how to navigate an educational system that does more to exclude and alienate a child when they misbehave versus finding ways to understand why. They share their desperate need to find a diagnosis for their son when they came to the realization that there is a chance he could fail out of school if this continued. From their experience, they also share steps on how parents can be advocates for their children.
Dr. Michelle Medeiros, assistant professor of Spanish in Marquette University’s Klingler College of Arts and Sciences. Michelle specializes in Latin American literary and cultural studies of the 19th and 20th centuries, gender studies, history of science, and travel writing. Her current research project explores the intersection of science, gender, and visual culture in the works of women scientists in an attempt to further unveil the complex ways in which the modern culture of scientific production developed and the role of gender in this process. She teaches a broad range of courses including literature, culture, and language arts.
Dr. Henry Medeiros is an Associate Professor of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at the University of Florida. His research focuses on the development of novel artificial intelligence models and robotic systems to improve agricultural production.
