OM DENNE EPISODE
Join us to explore what disability pride means to parents who not only have children with disabilities, but have disabilities themselves.
Three guests speak with me on the panel for this episode, sharing their thoughts and experiences about disability identity, navigating neurodivergence, breaking generational cycles, creating safe spaces for their children and themselves as parents, advocacy, and self-expression.
Dive deeper into the issues discussed in this episode and future episode in our explorations inside my free Lighting the Path Community for Special Needs Parents and allies. Sign up to join here, or via the link at the end of this shownote.
