The Disability Divas

They were once two boys with disabilities who inspired us to grow and pursue careers working with children with special needs - and now they're two young men, still just as inspirational as ever.  In this special episode of The Disability Divas, meet Alex and Cole, our sons. You've heard us talk about them before, now's your chance to hear their stories and their perspectives in an open and honest dialogue about what it's like to grow up with, to have, to cope with, and to overcome the challenges of having a disability.

School’s in! Backpacks, classes, homework...and if you have a kid with a disability, a lot of worries. Will they get what they need in school to succeed? Don’t panic! There is a system in place to help make sure your kid is getting the most out of school and in this episode of The Disability Divas we’re going to walk you through the world of Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) and 504's and how to build a team and a plan that will ensure your child’s success

The first episode of the Disability Divas!In this episode we introduce ourselves, our lives and why we've decided to start this podcast. We're two sisters who have led remarkably similar, and yet different, lives.  We both had children with disabilities and then both changed careers to work with children who have disabilities. But as similar as our stories seem - we've had a lot of differences along the way.
