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.

Fatherhood Tranformed Series: "Presuming Competence: An Autism Dad's Journey" with J. Brad Britton

Welcome back to the podcast, Today we continue our Fatherhood Transformed Series and are joined by my friend and fellow San Diego Dad, J. Brad Britton. J Brad is an author and autism dad who recently released his Book Real Words with Sam.
Brad spent his career building championship teams in business by seeing potential in people others overlooked. But it took a room full of spellers and a letterboard to make him realize he hadn't been doing the same for his own son. This is a really honest, beautiful conversation about learning to see ability instead of disability — and what it costs a dad to lay down his own plans and truly show up.
Let’s Listen in to our conversation.
