A Special Kind of Chaos
Communication is Key

This week's episode we talk about the importance of communication in all of the relationships we have built in our special needs lives...and how important it is to building, keeping and repairing trust.  Being a special needs parent is hard, we are continuously in a state of "fight mode" and turning that off can be impossible.  The keys to success have continuously been tied to good communication about our children.  Often our children can't communicate all of their thoughts or needs, so we as parents NEED the people in our children's lives to be a voice for them.  

Special Kind of Chaos is A Podcast about all things Special Needs.  We have found that together we can make anything happen.  We are here for you if you need help getting started, just reach out to us in our Facebook Group or through our Instagram (links below).  Our goal as always, is to be authentic and real as we discuss the twists and turns of our special needs journey.  We are vocal, real, honest and hardly ever politically correct, which in turn means...you never know what kind of Chaos they are going to stir up.
