Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when challenges are weaved with joys.

How do you find balance in caregiving? Whether you know from personal experience or through someone else in your life, you’ll want to listen to this episode with Kelley Coleman. 

Kelley Coleman is the mother of two boys, one of whom has multiple disabilities (including a yet-undiagnosed genetic syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, CVI, epilepsy, and more). Her book Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports offers practical tips for parenting a disabled child.

This episode is part two of our conversation, and we discuss:

    • Tips for parents going out in public with their disabled children
    • The role of community support
    • How to find balance between juggling the paperwork and still enjoying being a mom
    • Insights for policymakers
    • Empowering parents with expertise
    • Encouragement for parents who are just starting on their journey of disability
    • ----more----
