S3: Episode 111 - Future planning for our 'children' entering adulthood & setting them up for success & the best version of independent living possible

Silvia Abeloe is a Mom to a 19-year-old young man who is severely impacted by autism.  She has been married for 26 years to her husband Ken and they live in Carlsbad, CA (North San Diego County).   Silvia was a Service Director for United Airlines at Washington Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia when she decided to leave the workforce, start a family, and move back to her home state of California to raise their son. The travel bug has never escaped her. Traveling the world and scuba diving are her two favorite hobbies and pastimes.   Silvia's goal for her son’s future is that he lead a productive and independent life with a support team in place in his own home. They want him to live his best life and are currently on a path to have Supportive Living Services aid him with that goal.    If you have questions about her journey or Supportive Living Services, you can contact Silvia via email at smakaa69@yahoo.com ***************************************** To purchase my book “Welcome to My Life – A Personal Parenting Journey Through Autism” click HERE or visit Amazon.com!

Om Podcasten

This podcast comes to you from a very tired, slightly slap happy and eternally hopeful warrior mom of a young adult son with severe, non-verbal autism.  My hope is to bring together parents of special needs children and professionals so we may share stories and experience to build a worldwide village of support for one another.  Living the Sky Life offers a personal connection and understanding from those who have likely walked in your shoes.
