## Resource

David welcomes his son Stone, a 20-year-old non-speaking student, to discuss his experiences, challenges, and aspirations.

The podcast also features segments such as 'Tip of the Week,' where Stone advises always presuming competence with non-speaking individuals, and 'Confessions,' revealing sibling dynamics and personal anecdotes.
