Description
"You shouldn't have to uproot your entire family because there isn't enough." Katie Emde.  What a great chat with Katie Emde.  Katie lives in Saskatchewan with her husband and three beautiful kids and spends her days advocating for those on the autism spectrum. Her oldest son Avery was diagnosed with severe non-verbal autism and her youngest son Jackson was recently diagnosed on the spectrum. When getting Avery diagnosed, she found everything to be extremely overwhelming & difficult to navigate and started advocating provincially for hundreds of families. She blogs online on Facebook & shares her family's journey at " A Journey For Avery."
