In this episode we talk to Deanna Dawson about:

raising her adopted daughter Joy who has Shaken Baby Syndrome,
her family fostering many kids, some with disabilities,
her church program for kids with disabilities,
her job as a counselor at The Springs Therapy.

This episode was sponsored by The Springs Therapy.
Deonna's kids have been counseled by Deanna at The Springs Therapy and it made a HUGE difference in their sleep, behavior, and anxiety. They also gave us the tools that we needed to continue that therapy at home.
What sets them apart is that they have a therapist that works specifically with families of disabled children, as well as the child with the disability.
The Springs Therapy group meets the diverse needs of clients by having therapists with different specialties.

They counsel people of all ages, and offer group therapy options, support groups, parenting classes, and offer tele-heath in Texas.

Check out their website at thespringstherapy.com and tell them Raising Disabled Podcast sent you.
