This free, 4-episode virtual conversation series offers a warm and inviting opportunity to connect with other parents and families of children with differences in or challenges to their development. Through conversations with parents of children with developmental differences, challenges, or disabilities, we explore the unique as well as common experiences of loving and raising children whose developmental process and journey is delayed or atypical. We discuss the challenges and joys of family life with children with a wide array of ways of being in the world. Over the four conversations, we cover topics near and dear to the hearts and experiences of families as we all learn from each other how to best support and advocate for our children, the whole family, and our communities.
