Description
We are raising kids who are learning and developing in ways that do not fit in with the typical milestones. They may be reading at three, yet at ten are still struggling to find meaningful friendships.
We, as parents can, often feel isolation when raising neurodivergent children. They notice that they are outliers, and we feel it, too. That doesn’t mean making connections is impossible, though! There are steps we can take, to help our family find their tribe and build a community.
In today’s episode, Colleen will be talking about her experiences with co-ops, classes, and helping her neurodivergent family find community.
Our sponsors for today’s episode are CTC Math and Reading Eggs
