A disclaimer for this episode: we are not trained experts and our specialty is not special needs, so anything we share today is based on our own efforts to do research and learn from other trained efforts. So nothing in this episode should be considered clinical diagnosis or expert referral – this is all parent-to-parent sharing.   And Julie’s children are all adults now, so the stories she has to share come from the perspective of someone who has already made it to the other side and can see how it all worked out.   You can download show notes for the podcast here: http://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/   Resources: Partnership Writing Bundle Learn from Rita Cevasco: rootedinlanguage.com If you have a child on the spectrum, check out surfershealing.org Check out this brand new, free product designed to kickstart your writing program this school year: 7-Day Writing Blitz (and tag your creative young writers using #BWBlitz on Twitter & Instagram!)
