Are you looking for guidance when life takes an unexpected special needs turn?
Do you want to explore or create opportunities for adults with special needs in your community?
In this heartfelt episode, I speak with Ana Munoz, bestselling author of "Perfectly Loved" and dedicated advocate for the special needs community. Anna shares her journey as a mother of a daughter with Down syndrome and how this unexpected path led her to discover deeper purpose and meaning.
Now, with her daughter at 28 years old, Ana has become a powerful voice for the special needs community. She shares insights about her work establishing ABLE Ministries on Kauai, organizing annual proms, and creating meaningful social opportunities for adults with special needs who often face isolation after aging out of school programs.
