This is a great time to share a little bit about Hope on the Hard Road. For those who are new to the podcast, Hope on the Hard Road, Inc is a nonprofit based out of San Diego CA which Christen and I founded in 2019 with the mission to connect, encourage, and bring hope to families journeying on the special needs road. We understand what families are dealing with every day as they walk this road, because we are a family just like you.

Whether that looks like medical complexity, developmental disabilities, or neurodiversity we are here for you. We have lots of resources and supports uniquely designed to wrap around the family, including this incredible podcast which features interviews with experts in the special needs community and heartfelt family stories. Beyond the podcast we also host local events every month for dads, moms, couples, siblings, and the entire family.  And if you’re not local – no worries- we’ve got support groups on line as well that you can join. And head on over to our YouTube channel after this podcast to check out our FREE library of webinars with experts on so many of the hot topics our families need to know about such as Self Determination and Future planning.

Speaking of future planning. This is what we’re going to be talking about for the next couple of weeks on the podcast. We hope this Future Planning Series will be a powerful guide to helping you all as you take next steps. Don’t forget to subscribe and we’ll see you back here for the next episode!

 

For a family raising a child with special needs, life can be difficult. There are many storms to weather and struggles to address, and we often feel isolated and alone due to the nature of our circumstances. Families have a need to connect and find resources, a need to be encouraged, and a need for hope as we walk down what can be a very hard road at times. Hope on the Hard Road Special Needs Podcast was created for this purpose. Our vision is to grow a thriving community, where families with children of all ages with special needs can feel connected, be encouraged, and find hope for the road ahead.
