About this listen

As any parent who has been given a health diagnosis for their child knows, it’s a punch to the gut. Shazi opens up about the day her son, Zane, was given his autism diagnosis and was told he may never speak. You’ll hear a candid conversation with her mentor, Lisa Ackerman, Founder of TACA (The Autism Community in Action); Lisa shares the story of her son and why it propelled her to provide education, support, and hope to other families living with autism. We then hear from developmental pediatrician Dr. Stephen Cowan — the doctor who first gave Shazi’s son his diagnosis — on the steps parents can take to move forward and why the future holds so much hope for children with special needs.
