He will shift your perspective on disabilities and how you can empower your children to thrive!
Today’s inspirational guest will tell first hand what his parents did that helped him be strong, independent, and enabled in the presence of disability.
Michael declares, “ Whether a disability is present or not, “the fact of the matter is that every child, every person, has gifts. And as parents, you need to let those gifts develop in your child and you need to help encourage them.”
You will surely learn something today. I know I did!
