This is an informative and inspiring show for parents of children with all kinds of special needs. In his latest episode, Jared discusses Disney's Frozen and the lessons he gleaned from the lyrics of the Oscar award-winning song, 'Let it Go.' It's definitely worth a listen! <a href="http://specialfamiliescoach.com/disneys-frozen-teaches-on-social-isolation-in-let-it-go/">Disney's Frozen Teaches on Social Isolation in 'Let it Go.'</a> ******************************************** Remember to sign up for our monthly community newsletter!
