Show Notes

Hi everyone!  Please enjoy my conversation with Yelena House as she talks about her son, Andrew.  Andrew went most of his life without a diagnosis and is now a thriving 19-year-old that is proud to be part of the Skraban-Deardorff community.  Yelena shared lots of stories from Andrew's life and reminds us that we should never underestimate our rare kids since they are constantly surprising us with what they can achieve.  I said many times throughout this conversation that Yelena and Andrew fill me with hope for our SKDEAS kids.  

Please visit SKDEAS.org for more information about Skraban-Deardorff and how you can support our superheroes.
