As You Go

Parenting is Not What I Expected


Listen Later

One in 36 children in the U.S. has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. In this episode, Ruth McDonald talks with April Jimmeye about how we can care for children with special needs -- both as parents and as the church. April is a mother of 3 children, 2 of whom have diagnoses of autism. She is also a graduate of Liberty University and earned a Masters from University of West Florida. She is a certified Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who shares a wealth of information from her own personal journey and her acquired knowledge.

Most parents -- whether they have special needs children or not -- will resonate with April's message, as all of us have thought "this is not quite what I expected at the baby shower." Her perspective and advice are so vital for all of us who love and care for children. 

If you are involved in a church, you will find April's message challenging and helpful as you try to ensure that your ministry is accessible to every family and every child.
