Wendy and Liz are joined by guests Linda Koehler and Sara Marcelin-Elliott for first episode to share their lived experience of caring for a child with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Linda is caregiver to her grandson with an autism, ADHD and global developmental delay diagnosis and Sara is a mother to an exceptional teen with dual diagnosis. This episode is all about finding families, the pros and cons of community, and the stages of community throughout your child’s life.

Special thanks to the Family Advisory Council for making “The Exceptional Caregivers Life” podcast possible as well as Ab Velasco for coordinating logistics. This podcast was made possible by the donations from the Arthur and Audrey Cutten Foundation and The Harry E. Foster Foundation.

All episodes are produced by LeadPodcasting.
