About this episode

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Different Ability® Podcast, Katey and her mom, Lynn, dive into Chapter 5 of Embracing Your Different Ability®. They discuss the moment Lynn realized Katey’s reading struggles were more than typical childhood challenges and the emotional journey of navigating guilt while advocating for her child. This conversation also explores the process of creating an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the importance of parental involvement in schools, and strategies for speaking up in the face of resistance. They share insights on societal changes needed to support children with learning disabilities and offer encouragement for parents and caregivers advocating for their children in any setting.
