Stemming from my own experience parenting two amazing kiddos, one of whom has multiple disabilities, EVERYTHING NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT PARENTING A DISABLED CHILD sources my firsthand experience, along with fellow parents on this journey, and leading experts, many of whom are disabled themselves.

Let's do this.
