Exceptional & Unfiltered Ep. 6 - The Graduates

In this week's episode, we talk about an important milestone - high school graduation, and how this celebratory occasion can look a little different for special needs families. Graduation brings a mixture of bittersweet feelings for any parent, but in this episode, we dive into the complexities, worries, and rays of hope that accompany graduation for parents of children with special needs. We talk about the support provided by the school system and staff, worries about big transitions post-graduation, accommodations for graduation ceremonies, and the process of navigating and creating resources to maintain a high quality of life once the high-school chapter closes. This is an episode full of honesty, real conversation, and determination to create the brightest future possible for our kids.
