While living in a society that can sometimes seem overwhelmingly critical and exclusive, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity and acceptance is vital, especially for individuals with disabilities. For a parent to a child with special needs, balancing feelings of guilt, the challenges of self-care, and the importance of fostering acceptance can be difficult.
In this episode, host Annette Hines talks with Debi Arsenault about her experiences raising her son Carson, who has a clinical diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome. Debi opens up about the hurdles she’s faced with state services, the advocacy work she's done for Carson, and how it’s all impacted her family. She talks passionately about the need for inclusivity, understanding non-verbal communication, and the importance of educating others about disabilities. Debi's children's book, "The Magic of the Man with the Sunglasses," is a heartfelt story promoting kindness and acceptance, reminding us that everyone has their own unique "magic" to share with the world.
In this episode, you will hear:
Ways to advocate for those with disabilities to get a proper diagnosis and find the right care and services
What it means to recognize the unique value and "magic" in everyone
How understanding and interpreting non-verbal communication is significant
Learn the crucial role of support systems for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities
