When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms2 Mars 2022

Kimberly | Bookends

Have you ever wondered if the world would treat your children differently if their disability was lesser or greater, physical or intellectual, or maybe even something as "simple" as whether or not they could smile? Today's mom, Kimberly, has four boys - two of which have disabilities. One has a physical disability and the other has an intellectual disability. This gives her family a very unique perspective on this sometimes rocky journey of parenthood.

Topics we talked about that you do not want to miss:

Intellectual disability vs. physical disability
Facing questions about terminating because "something is wrong"
You will innately love your child no matter what
Special Education Teacher turned Special Needs Mom
Communicating with teachers
