Ep81: Special Education, COVID, and BINGO with Lindsay Madsen

Lindsay Madsen is a fellow mom on the journey of raising children with special needs, a son with Autism and a daughter with Reactive Attachment Disorder – that was a new one for me. She is also the Director of Special Education at a charter school in Utah and offers her services as a tutor and consultant. We spoke a bit about her children and their unique challenges. We then discussed the need for passionate special education teachers and more school psychologists (I learned about the 45 day rule – which I’ve probably been told before but this time it stuck!), the importance of having support, and COVID’s affect on our children with special needs. Lindsay sends us off into summer with great advice on how to process this past year and how to prepare for the next school year (hint: it involves BINGO!)
