Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child with Kelley Coleman
Season 3 Episode 6
In this episode, Tara and Kelley Coleman, a feature film development executive turned author and disability advocate, discuss the realities of parenting a child with disabilities. Kelley, a mother of two boys, one with multiple disabilities, shares her journey and the challenges faced. She talks about her new book, "Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child," offering guidance to parents in similar situations. The conversation covers the need for community support, understanding, and the celebration of small victories. During the conversation, Kelley emphasizes the critical need for validation and support within the community. It's not just about having access to resources; it's about the community understanding and embracing individuals with disabilities. The pair also touch on the practicalities of managing responsibilities and finding joy in tough times, like Kelley's metaphorical "yellow sweater."
