Sterling…My SONshine!

We have been through so much and I am thankful for the resources and support we’ve had along the way. Sterling is in a great place and I am extremely grateful. When he was first diagnosed, I wasn’t surprised but relieved. Being told your child was a behavior problem had to be one of the worst things a mother can hear about their child. Luckily for me, my professional background afforded me the knowledge to know these were not behaviors but responses to stressful situations. I want to share more resources as well as my mindset when it comes to being a parent and advocate for my son. So many things are thrown at us all at once. All the meetings, the calls, and the paperwork can be so overwhelming. Sharing all the struggles and triumphs we’ve had in hopes of helping a mom or caregiver who is struggling to maneuver this path. You’d be surprised at what they don’t want you to know your child is entitled to. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask me any questions.
