Episode 13: Parent Perspectives: Special Needs
from Learning Made Easier
It has been said that to raise a child, it takes a village. This is never more true than with a child who has a developmental disability. For so many children with special needs, the services and funding they receive through school make a massive difference to their learning and development. Yet funding and staffing levels often strain to meet those needs. This week's podcast is with two parents - Lisa and Kate, who between them have 5 children with a variety of special needs. They are speaking with Dr Lisa Hudson, SLP about their experiences advocating for their children and working with schools for funding and services. If you're looking ahead to the transition to school, or are contemplating a change of school, their insights about what to look for and what to avoid are a valuable starting point. For those listeners who are teachers, health professional or parents who are fortunate not to have the need of special services, it is at times a thought provoking insight into the lives of these families.
