Just Needs: parenting children with disabilities
Some people think of disabilities as "special needs." But as parents of children with disabilities, we know our kids just have needs... like everyone else. Settle in with our podcast for real talk about advocacy, friendships, developmental delays, evaluations, IEPs, sensory meltdowns, autism, and all the ups and downs that come with this gig. We don’t have all the answers, but we promise to try to figure it out with you. Join us.
