Episode Synopsis

AMDG.  Children don’t come with instruction manuals, so having resources to help road map out various challenges can benefit everyone in a family.  In this episode, Karen Allgood and Krysten Pizzurro join Bonnie and Steven to describe the vast array of services available through Kolbe’s student support services and special education offerings.  They describe the individualized attention they provide and the confident communication they foster in situations where families may be uncertain they can fulfill a child’s need.  They also touch on the importance of documentation and accommodations, the concerns about being labeled or just needing to try harder, and the importance of the fact that each child is exactly how God willed him or her to be.
