This episode encompasses so many of the themes of this podcast: the importance of listening to, learning from, and believing in each other and the joy of finding what we have in common. It's about family, community and connection. And it all came together thanks to one of our listeners (and former guests)!
Tressa talks with Special Education Teacher, Andrea Harrity, and one of her former students, Jackson Holt. You’ll hear about Andrea's journey that led her to special education and her perspective as a teacher. Andrea’s passion for helping students with special needs is undeniable and absolutely uplifting.
Then Tressa chats with Jackson, his mom Lorianne, and his sister Lily, at their home. Jackson is a person on the autism spectrum who had once been essentially nonverbal. Theirs is a very special and inspiring conversation.
