In this powerful two-part conversation, we’re joined by Dr. Amy Wood, a respected local and statewide speaker who advocates for families and children with autism. Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal journey, Dr. Wood shares about her son, James, who is on the profound end of the autism spectrum. With honesty and heart, she reflects on 22 years of navigating life, school, and services—offering candid stories of building the right supports, advocating in the classroom and community, and finding joy and purpose along the way. Across these two episodes, her insights bring hope, practical strategies, and a reminder that with the right tools, every individual can thrive.
