The Best Thing: Finding Joy and Purpose in Parenting a Child with Special Needs
“Author Dawn Schneider shares her uplifting perspective on parenting a child with special needs. Drawing from her book The Best Thing, she reflects on how shifting what we focus on—what we see now and where we hope to go—can transform challenges into sources of joy, purpose, and deep connection. This program offers an inspiring look at the unexpected gifts found in life’s hardest moments.
All ages welcome; registration is appreciated, but not required.”
