In this episode, Tara sits down with a very special person with so much love and insightfulness on her journey of raising a child with disabilities/special needs. Tara interviews Charlene Hicks, a mother of two wonderful kiddos and she's a former Educational Assistant. Charlene gets very candid and provides us with the ups and downs she has endured while navigating the system and always being an advocate for her son. Charlene shares her very positive perspective on her son's gifts to the world and the teachable moments he has allowed her to experience. If you have a child with a visible and/or invisible disability/diagnosis, we hope this episode gives you some validation and if you need support, Charlene is open to sharing information to communicate.
