On The Hard Days

Ep. 90 Mom Lindsey Furr on Fighting for Your Neurodivergent Child with Medical & Educational Traumas


Listen Later

About This Episode: Mom Lindsey is a fighter, and so is her son. She's been advocating fiercely for him since the day he was born, as he suffered from medical trauma and then eventually educational trauma. She's in full Mama Bear mode (as I know you all can relate to) and I'm grateful she came on the show to share her story. Here are just a few of the topics we discussed:

-What medical trauma looks like for an infant: Hirschsprung's Disease, surgeries, and long-term stays in the hospital
-The struggle to get a 1 on 1 aide in the classroom
-Lack of communication with school on behaviors
-The ongoing fight for inclusion
-Losing adult friendships as you take care of your child

Lindsey welcomes you to reach out to her and say hello! She's on FB and her email is
[email protected]. Please shower Lindsey with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story!
