Sandy Deppisch

ETB 39 -  In this episode I talk with Mary Ann Hughes, mother of 2 young adults with Autism about finding quality care for loved ones with special needs.  As a single mother managing her company, Special Family Transitions, Mary Ann has had to stretch her comfort zone most recently when she sent both of her boys for the very first time to a week long summer camp.

Mary Ann believes as special needs moms and parents we don't spend enough time taking care of ourselves.  She notes there is so much stress involved with having special. needs children it can take a toll on the family and sometimes the marriage.  Mary Ann encourages you to take time for yourself so you can be the best parent you can be for your kids.   

To help you find quality caregivers you can trust,  Mary Ann shares an abundance of possibilities for securing respite care, some of which you may not have ever considered.
