About this listen

 In this episode, I sit down with Casey Mouton, a marriage and family therapist, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting a child with special needs. Casey shares her personal journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, the shock of her son's stroke diagnosis, and navigating life as a special needs parent. We talk about the mental load of caring for a child with disabilities, the importance of community support, and the process of recognizing and addressing ableism in society. Casey also highlights the current political climate surrounding disability rights and offers practical advice for advocacy and support.Key Takeaway / Points:Casey's experience with postpartum depression and anxietyThe unexpected stroke diagnosis of her 10 month old son and its impact on Casey's familyThe mental load of a special needs parentHow to build supportive communities for parents of children with disabilitiesUnderstanding ableism and its manifestations in everyday lifeHow to talk to children about disabilities in an inclusive wayThe current threats to disability rights in today’s political climateListen to the episode 264 with Dr. Sarah Oreck of Mavida Health HEREPurchase the Anti-Ableist Manifesto HERELook at Disability Rights Watch HERESponsors:Venmo: Visit Venmo.me/debit to learn more and sign up todayArya: Visit arya.fyi and use code CAMERON for 15% off to get started todaySimply Pop: Go to cokeurl.com/simplyPOP to find out where you can try SimplyPopCotton: Learn more at TheFabricOfOurLives.comCrown Maple: Visit CrownMaple.com and use code CAMERON20 at checkout for 20% off your orderHead to this LINK to the contest to enter - it’s quick, it’s easy and there’s only one week to get in on this.
