In today's episode, Katie interviews Elizabeth Simmons, PTA, Federal Affairs Liaison to the PTA Council, and PTA Council Representative/Board of Directors member in Indiana. Elizabeth is well-versed in all things “advocacy” and breaks it down for us. She helps describe advocacy from a 30,000-foot view, as well as the intricate details of speaking in person with your state representatives. Elizabeth describes some of the tools that are available for PTs, PTAs, and patients to use to advocate for the profession and change.
