Description
How can we get our disabled children the support to which they are entitled? How do we find the confidence that we're adequate enough to provide what they need? Kelley Coleman, parent of a disabled child and author of the new book EVERYTHING NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT PARENTING A DISABLED CHILD, provides practical advice and templates for navigating systems and accessing services.
Kelley and Amy discuss:
Kelley's personal story of parenting her disabled son and the challenges she's faced
the frustrating experience of "reinventing the wheel" for each parent of a disabled child
why the language of disability matters—and why it was the first thing Kelley had to learn
why the best place to get real, practical information is often from other parents—until we become the informed parents
