Embrace the Blessing
You didn't choose this road — but here you are, walking it the best you can. Some days are breathtaking. Some days are brutal. And most days you just need to know someone else understands. That's exactly what Embrace the Blessing is for. I'm Sandy Deppisch, and for 24 years I've been walking this road alongside my son Josiah, a young adult with Down syndrome, nonspeaking Autism, and ADHD. Every week we gather — real parents, real stories, real encouragement. Let's walk the road less traveled together.

ETB 9: Creating Communities Where ALL Children Belong and Excel with Mary Jane Williams
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I talk with Mary Jane Williams, Executive Director of Family to Family Network. Family to Family Network helps individuals with disabilities and their family members define and achieve success for themselves and their loved ones.
As a mother of 2 young adults with disabilities, Mary Jane discusses first hand the positive impact connecting with other families had made for family. She encourages parents to learn everything possible about their child's diagnosis by attending training events offered through school districts and local organizations. Mary Jane firmly believes it is important for families to see possibilities in their kids with disabilities.
ALL children should be included and supported in our schools and community in order to ensure the future success of children with disabilities.
