311: Navigating Special Needs Parenting, Ableism, and Advocacy with Therapist, Casey Mouton


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Casey Mouton, a marriage and family therapist, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting a child with special needs. Casey shares her personal journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, the shock of her son's stroke diagnosis, and navigating life as a special needs parent. We talk about the mental load of caring for a child with disabilities, the importance of community support, and the process of recognizing and addressing ableism in society. Casey also highlights the current political climate surrounding disability rights and offers practical advice for advocacy and support.


Key Takeaway / Points:

  • Casey's experience with postpartum depression and anxiety
  • The unexpected stroke diagnosis of her 10 month old son and its impact on Casey's family
  • The mental load of a special needs parent
  • How to build supportive communities for parents of children with disabilities
  • Understanding ableism and its manifestations in everyday life
  • How to talk to children about disabilities in an inclusive way
  • The current threats to disability rights in today’s political climate
