Description

The Family Home is the most common housing model for adults with disabilities. Often this model "happens" rather than being chosen and planned. However, intentionally choosing the Family Home Model and putting forth the same amount of planning and work as any other model can make it a highly desirable option. Today we are speaking with John and Susan Nadworny, who have spent several active decades in the special needs world bringing about policy change and creating opportunities for teens and adults with disabilities. John and Susan have chosen the family model and have put in a lot of work to make it an ideal set up for their son with disabilities, themselves, and their neuro-typical adult children.  For links to topics discussed in this episode visit www.lomah.org/podcast/21

The LOMAH Podcast is an award winning show that runs topical series deep diving into an issue for 10-12 episodes with interviews from expert guests, including self advocates. Your host, Kim, has a teenage daughter with level 3 non speaking autism who will require 24/7 support the rest of her life. Like many parents, Kim has a lot of important questions. She does not claim to know the answers for her child nor yours but does promise to search for them and share what she is discovering along the way. You will notice a striking difference in the earlier shows compared to the most recent as she has grown and evolved as a result of listening to expert guests and self advocates.
