Katie and Steve’s special needs journey began when their first baby had to be airlifted to another country shortly after birth because of a stroke in utero. Seventeen years and four more children later, one with the diagnosis of Dup15q, they are now vocal advocates and support in the special needs community. Their new podcast, Family Success Secrets, has recently launched. This podcast is a spin-off from their original podcast specifically for the special needs community Generationally Minded. Family Success Secrets is a place for all families to learn, grow, and be supported.
They spoke with me about their experiences as a special needs family, their son’s diagnosis, how they built their team, how to be an advocate for your child, and the need to find creative solutions for our children. We also discuss their new podcast venture and the intention behind it.
