When family advocacy for Universal Design for Learning creates unexpected tension

My teenage daughter has learning differences and we've been advocating together for better UDL practices at her school, but lately she's pulling back from the advocacy work and I can't tell if I've been too pushy or if she's just tired of being the 'poster child' for accommodation needs.
