Season 5
Episode 4
Published 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
You can have strong, caring support and still feel like things are falling apart.
In this episode, Mike Carr shares a lesson that took years to fully understand. It’s not just about building the right team.
Even the best caregivers face limits. They get sick. They move on. They can’t be there all the time.
So what happens next?
Mike talks about why families need more than good people. They need systems that can adjust as life changes.
You’ll hear about:
- Why caregiver turnover keeps happening
- The limits of one-on-one support
- How gaps in communication lead to behavior issues
- Why flexibility matters in daily support
- What helps create stability for teens and adults
This episode is for parents, caregivers and professionals supporting individuals with profound autism who need consistent, adaptable care.
