Starting school tends to bring a set of emotions with it. Sometimes it's excitement, and sometimes it's a feeling of uncertainty about how our hair loss is going to be perceived. "Will people notice I have a bald spot, or will they make fun of me?" Our guest, Jennifer George, has been an educator for over 20 years and currently works as an assistant principal in a large middle school in Calgary, Alberta Canada. We discuss 504 plans and IEPs, and Jennifer shares how we can help our kids advocate for themselves while they are living with alopecia.
