About this listen

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Relationship Closeness: How close you are determines how much detail needed.
✅ Child-Specific Information: Only share what's relevant to your specific child's diagnosis.
✅ Ongoing Conversation: Disclosure isn't one-time; understanding evolves with child's growth.
✅ Start Positive: Lead with strengths before discussing challenges or differences.
✅ Assess Understanding: Know what people already understand before explaining diagnosis.
✅ Boundary Setting: Teach child strategies to meet family members halfway.
✅ Balance Always: Always pair negative traits with positive qualities shown.
