Advocate Psychology for Special Needs Parents

 I have been a special needs parent for 17 years now. My "kid" is an now an adult. I've debated about continuing with posting and decided that I will, but veer more to the parental side. I want to respect my guy's privacy, but there are so many new parents starting this hell of a ride, as well as those looking at that post 18 years old transition we are currently navingating. I still have thoughts, things to say, and info to share.

Allons-y! But first, some humour. 

Here is my approach to IEP meeting prep and crafting email messages, requests, and responses (after the initial emotional outburst). Each day, every day. Sometimes continuously, from the time I wake up until the time I fall asleep where I am sitting.

With thanks to all the brilliant folks at Pixar.
