Summary
Season 13 is here, and this time the focus is on our children’s disabilities themselves. This season, we’ll be talking about things like navigating surgeries and procedures, trachs and vents, behavioral diagnoses, schooling options, sexual health and safety, feeling judgment, and more. As always, there will be story episodes woven throughout the season, featuring parents sharing their experiences in their own words. We’re also sharing a few updates in this episode, including how hosting will look this season, details about our February Friends & Family Fundraiser during Rare Disease Month, and discussion groups, including the launch of our first international group.
