Episode 12 of Season 3! In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Emily, a devoted mom of four, who opens up about her family’s journey raising a child who is deaf and hard of hearing. Emily shares the moment she first learned of her child’s deafness and the support her family received through Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services. She also speaks candidly about the challenges they faced transitioning into their local school district, an experience that was far from easy.

With honesty, Emily walks us through the ups and downs of advocating for her child’s special education needs, navigating difficult situations, and pushing for the services and support every child deserves. While we know not every situation is perfect in the school setting, we believe every story matters and every parent and educator should feel empowered to share their experiences.

Emily’s journey is eye-opening, a reminder of the resilience of parents and the importance of building systems that truly serve children with unique needs. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or advocate, this conversation will leave you with valuable insights and renewed empathy for families working to ensure their children thrive!
