Fiona is mama to Casey, a 2 year old living with Prader-Willi syndrome. She shared with me her birth story and the challenges that arose from some common PWS characteristics. We also talked diagnosis, not looking too far ahead, and the beautiful lessons that can be learned from being the mother to a child born with a genetic condition. I also share a recently written piece called, “This Is Not Political.”

Ep81: Special Education, COVID, and BINGO with Lindsay Madsen
Lindsay Madsen is a fellow mom on the journey of raising children with special needs, a son with Autism and a daughter with Reactive Attachment Disorder – that was a new one for me. She is also the Director of Special Education at a charter school in Utah and offers her services as a tutor and consultant. We spoke a bit about her children and their unique challenges. We then discussed the need for passionate special education teachers and more school psychologists (I learned about the 45 day rule – which I’ve probably been told before but this time it stuck!), the importance of having support, and COVID’s affect on our children with special needs. Lindsay sends us off into summer with great advice on how to process this past year and how to prepare for the next school year (hint: it involves BINGO!)
