Navigating Support Systems for Special Needs Children with Will Edwards
Listen now
Description
As the parent of a special needs child, Will Edwards knows first hand how complex it can be to receive support in the school system - and in life - and he’s on a mission to change that.  Will sat down with our host Liz Durham to offer insight into care in Tennessee. He shares his experience advocating for his child with autism at many levels, from working with guidance counselors in the public school system, to reps on the school board. In the world of disability support, it often comes down to money. Will walks us through the process, and helps us understand whether it’s possible to close the gap in the education budget for special needs. Plus, Will offers advice for parents and families facing similar hurdles.  This is an important episode full of resources. If you know someone who could benefit from tuning in, please share. Special thanks to Will for helping support our Tennessee families who need it most.  - - - - - - - - - - - Liz Durham Instagram | Website Subscribe Apple Podcast | Spotify Being Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production
