This week our hosts Trent, Gina, Matt and Christy welcome a special guest! Jim Littlefield is a fellow podcast connoisseur who most recently welcomed our Early Learning Program Director Gina Wilson on his own show. This time he's the one answering questions, as he dives into how being the parent of a child with special needs has shaped not only his home life but inspired his career focus today. Having a daughter born 1.5 pounds placed Jim and his wife in the world of Early Intervention and the support network that comes with that. Jim leads the @seeingabilitypodcast on Spotify and Facebook where he holds a conversation with people with disabilities and those who support them. Not only that, Jim is also currently working on a book centered around adults who have grown up with that disability and the parents that supported them.  With 63 interviews and counting, all this supports his main focus of getting people to see the ability and not the disability. We also get the chance to hear about Matt the Man Moore's upcoming Fall production, Gina's plans to keep her job this summer, and Christy's position on the summer heat.
