56 | Special Needs Parenting: A Father's Perspective
In honor of Father's Day coming up next month, I am bringing to you (albeit a bit early!) this conversation with my amazing husband, Mike O'Brien, as he shares his own perspective on the complexities and joys of raising our children, particularly our daughter Casey who has Down syndrome. Listen in as Mike opens up about the ways Casey has expanded his world, teaching him to engage with life beyond his introverted tendencies and to appreciate the subtle nuances of human experience. His candid stories, including a touching moment of unexpected kindness at a mall, underscore the profound impact that raising a child with an intellectual disability can have on a parent's perspective and the often surprising lessons that come from the wider community.

Hey! Are you a parent of a loved one with a disability? Have you ever wanted to be on a podcast? Then I want to hear from you! Literally! Send me an audio message that I can include in an upcoming special episode.
Just click here to be directed to a website where you can record your response to the following question:
If you could go back in time to when your child was first diagnosed with a disability, what would you tell yourself?
I would LOVE to hear from you!!
And finally, if you have been wondering how long you need to keep certain documents, whether its a utility bill, and IEP, medical records, or an insurance policy, I have a quick and accessible one-page document for you to download that shares exactly how long you should be holding on to these items and when you can let them go (e.g. shred and/or recycle.)
Click here to get on my email list and I will send this handy doc straight to your inbox.
And I promise I won't start bombarding your inbox with emails -- that is not my style! I just want to be able to stay in touch and keep you informed occasionally of resources to help you reclaim whatever it is YOU need!
Happy Organizing!
