I am a speech-language pathologist currently working in a private special needs school in New York City. My experience has taught me that the greatest hope we have in helping children and teens with special needs is working together - parents, educators, therapists, siblings, doctors. Though we are all in this together, many often feel isolated. Many do not have enough information on how to navigate the day-to-day as well as the future ahead. Many feel overwhelmed with too much information. I am …
