ABOUT THE BOOK
When Boas’ older son was diagnosed with dyslexia, it took her four years of legal battles that drained her savings, battered her self esteem, and pulled her family apart in search of an appropriate education. Ultimately, she found herself asking questions about the ways in which our government and our schools fail to provide all children with equal access to quality education.
As a result, she created Invisible Red Tape, a thought leadership forum designed to expose the inequalities in education for children with dyslexia, create public awareness around the problem, and crowdsource an insider’s guide to practical solutions. She has also developed GLINDA, an affordable subscription-based, e-advising platform that connects special needs parents with dedicated advisors who save parents time, money–and their sanity.
Currently, she lives with her family in Jersey City, New Jersey where she advocates for improvements in special education and is building her next venture to address the problems she uncovered.
