Festivus for the Rest of Us
<p dir="ltr">Christmas is over, and so is Hanukkah. And we may have missed the official date for Festivus, December 23rd, but is there ever really a bad time to air grievances? Of course not. And we have plenty of them. Join us as we share all the things that grind our gears in the special needs world. This is not an episode of solutions, but rather a space to recognize all the things that drive us batty and a place for you to know that we see you from our side of the trench. Happy Festivus! </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus">Origins of Festivus</a></p> <p> </p>

The Doctor is In
<p dir="ltr">After a three year hiatus, Angie and Meg are back, and this time, Angie is in the hot seat. After completing her doctorate, Angie is here to share with us how and why she did it, and what it all means. You'll find out about her research which was dedicated to learning about caregivers who started businesses with and for their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities to provide a pathway to meaningful employment. Truly, her work was an extension of idea behind this podcast. Tune in and find out what she learned about caregivers and herself!</p> <p>If you'd like to learn about the caregivers she interviewed and the insights gained, here's a copy of her <a href= "http://hdl.handle.net/11603/39432">published dissertation</a>. For some orientation to the document, Chapter 1 is the "Why", Chapter 2 is the "What", Chapter 3 is the "How", Chapter 4 is what I found, and Chapter 5 answers the final question, which is what does it all mean?</p> <p> </p>
