How to Support Kids with Disabilities | Life Skills from a Special Ed Teacher & Sibling

In this episode, I welcome Shari Pierce—retired special education teacher, author, and sibling of an adult with developmental disabilities. With over 30 years in the classroom, Shari shares practical life skills for parents and teachers, stories from her career, and powerful advice on how we can better support and include people with intellectual disabilities.

We explore:

• Why inclusion matters in schools and at home

• How to talk to your kids about disabilities

• Lessons from teaching hands-on life skills

• What Shari learned growing up with a disabled sibling

This conversation is a must-watch for parents, educators, and anyone wanting to raise compassionate kids.
