This episode I talk with Pat Coskran, a father of 37 year old Sean, who is autistic.  
He has been a special education teacher and coach in the Special Olympics. 
He is also the author of "Growing up with Sean" found where most books are sold. 
He shares his perspective as a dad, finding connection with community in his way as he took over being Sean's primary caregiver; his struggle with his ego to be in control, grief and denial; the IEP process from the perspective of a parent and an educator, how the future will be for your adult child and the best way to prepare for that and so much more.

Episode 7: 8 Things I have learned from my kid

Hello There!  Welcome to  Rockin the Difference, a podcast meant to share the experiences and information with those on their journey in the special needs world. I am your host, Chandra Neal, a mom of a young adult with special needs. 


My intent is to create a community where we can connect, be real and share in the humor and the tears, challenges and triumphs of what it’s like traveling down this path that is so unique as a special needs parent.  

Together, we can encourage and support each other as we are all Rockin the Difference!
