About On the Verge: Real Talk for Parents, Caregivers & Advocates in the Disability Community

On the Verge is a raw and real disability themed podcast about life in the trenches of disability parenting, caregiving, and advocacy. Hosted by Misty Kluck and Mona Kasham, two moms, truth-tellers, and fierce advocates; we dive into the messy, beautiful, exhausting world of raising and supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, and apraxia. Each episode tackles real-life living with disability topics like IEP battles, caregiver grief, mental health, inclusion, systemic failures, and tiny victories that matter big.
