Show Notes

Join us to learn easy ways to foster your child's independence. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), are tasks performed by an individual on a daily basis that are essential to independent living. Children with special needs CAN develop these skills...and we as parents and caregivers can help. Learn more from our special guest April Tribe Giauque (https://www.apriltribegiauque.com/), fellow special needs mom, author, speaker, and former teacher.

Takeaways: Cooking, grocery shopping, and doing laundry together can be great ways to teach a variety of skills including problem solving, fine motor skills, compromise, money math skills, and more!

April Tribe Giauque
In a nutshell, April is a ghostwriter, editor, amplifying speaker, and podcaster. She is a victor of domestic violence, and she walks a healing journey. April brings the stories of others to light through her coaching, editing, and writing for income, impact, and influence as the result.

As a keynote speaker, April addresses parents' educational needs, autism, deafness, inclusion, social-emotional Learning, domestic violence supports, writer's needs, and so much more. Sprinkle in nine children, five with special needs (deaf and autism), an amazing husband, and a teacher, and you’ve got the picture.
