The Power of Being Understood: What Cammie Taught Me About Communication
Being Cammie’s mom has completely changed the way I see the world. She has taught our family more about love, resilience, inclusion, and celebrating every person’s unique strengths than we ever could have imagined. This journey has ignited a passion in me for advocacy- working to create a world where individuals with disabilities are seen, valued, heard and given every opportunity to belong. It is an honor to share a small part of our family’s story and the lessons Cammie continues to teach us every day.
