Raise your hand if the thought (or maybe even the memory) of potty training gives you anxiety! This parenting milestone sure brings up a lot of feelings, especially for those of us in the disability community. That’s why today we’re chatting about Micha’s potty training journey with her son Ace, as well as the impact of a dual diagnosis on toileting. PLUS: WHY do want certain things for our child? Is it for their safety or for societal expectations?
If you’ve watched the news recently, you know that there are some HUGE changes happening in our government, especially with the Department of Education. We’re breaking it all down today with our guest host, Ashley Barlow! She’s a mother to a son with Down syndrome, special education attorney advocate, IEP expert, former teacher, current speaker and podcaster. We are so grateful she’s here to cover all these topics: the current administration, bill HR 899, effects on students with disabilities, practical actions to take right now!
Here we are with a NEW season of The Lucky Few Podcast! Join us for this first episode back for some big life updates! Some things haven’t changed though.. you’ll see that we still don’t really know what year of the podcast this is and we still think there’s room to grow in the education system (shocker!). But get excited friends! Because this season will be full of important topics + a GUEST HOST.. Ashley Barlow, a fellow lucky mama, podcaster, and IEP expert.
We would love to notify you when the first episode posts. In addition, we will be offering events and other fun opportunities for you to participate with The Lucky Few in the future.
