In this week's episode, John and Cynthia dive into the powerful impact of high expectations and supportive environments.

Our conversation will cover:

  • How setting high expectations can unlock potential in individuals with I/DD
  • Real-life stories of people who have exceeded expectations with proper support
  • Strategies for creating a supportive environment at home, work, or in the community
  • The role of family members, friends, and professionals in fostering growth and independence

We'll share practical tips and inspiring examples that you can apply in your daily life, whether you're living with I/DD, supporting a loved one, or working in the field.
