20. Courtney Hibbard: Trusting Your Instincts in a Cerebral Palsy Journey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Courtney shares her journey raising her 3-year-old son Larry, who lives with cerebral palsy and complex medical needs.
We talk about advocacy, trusting your instincts, and embracing that every child develops in their own time.
Larry also has a rare genetic mutation called CBX1, and Courtney would love to connect with other families with a similar diagnosis.
