Hey everyone! We're picking up where we left off with Colleen English. Her interview ran longer than any other we've had (and we loved it!) so we split it into 2 parts. Just a reminder, this episode discusses topics that may be difficult for some people to listen to (i.e. death of a child, special needs passing away process, organ donation).
Before we jump into the interview, we chat about providing opportunities for those with disabilities that we sometimes overlook. Simply because an individual has a disability doesn't mean that can't or don't want to attend a higher education program. Maybe they're interested in a trade skill. Who knows?! If we don't tell them and share with them what's out there, then we as caregivers become the ones that handicap our special needs children.
