Episode 40 - (Part 2) Discussing the challenges of aging into adulthood & ensuring you are prepared to advocate for services

In this part 2 episode with Kelly (@growingupSteven), we discuss the various challenges that face parents when their son/daughter ages out of traditional services & opportunities.  At the age of 18, there are steps that need to be taken on your child's behalf - such as filing for Social Security benefits and perhaps seeking legal counsel to prepare either a Power of Attorney or Guardianship.  *Steven also makes a guest appearance during our discussion and answers one of my burning questions.   Stay in touch with Kelly on IG: @growingupSteven ***************************************** To purchase my book “Welcome to My Life – A Personal Parenting Journey Through Autism” click HERE!!

Om Podcasten

This podcast comes to you from a very tired and eternally hopefully autism mom of an adult son with profound needs. My intention is to bring together caregivers of special needs children and those who may want to gain a better understanding of our challenges and triumphs. Through the sharing of our stories and experience, I hope to build a larger, more inclusive community of support. Living the Sky Life offers a personal connection from someone who walks daily in caregiver shoes.
