Listen Later

Friends, we’re so excited to have award-winning writer, speaker, podcaster, disability advocate, and Mom of three, Amy Julia Becker, joining us for a third time today! She’s here to chat about what the journey with her daughter Penny has looked like after turning 18 and entering adulthood. She’s been in the process of making decisions about education, employment, guardianship, independent living, and so much more! We chat about navigating new services, and agencies, and Teresa from Social Security. What’s been the decision that has felt like the weightiest part of the transition into adulthood so far. How she’s included Penny in the decision-making process, her thoughts on guardianship, and so much more. Turning 18 brings on a whirlwind of decisions, Amy reflects on how it’s paralleled the early years and shares advice to consider in your child's middle and high school years. This is an episode you not only don’t want to miss, but you’ll want to bookmark and take notes on!!
