In this launch episode Tara talks to Liz Herrieven about Matthew Dicks' novel "Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend".  They discuss imaginary friends, what we need vs what others think we need, getting "stuck", getting unstuck and the importance of being loved.


Liz also shared the wonderful mnemonic TEACH for improving communication when talking to children with LD and autism:
