The Unexpected Adventure with Sam Kelly

Hope, Help & Humor for Families w/ Special needs If you have a family member with special needs, you know that it can be scary and you will have a lot of questions. There are times where you feel very alone. Sam Kelly walked through it and is walking through it with some of the best teachers, counselors, therapists, and friends, and this podcast series is a gift to help you do the same. The goal is to move from something that is scary and foreign into something that we are allowed to be curious about and that we can study and we can delight in. God made us all with special needs, and when you explore it with team, it’s so much more fun.
