January Topic: Radical Inclusion: What I Learned About Risk, Humility and Kindness from My Son with Autism
Individuals with disabilities deserve to live productive, engaged lives. Are we willing to help them accomplish this goal?
As a mother of an adult with autism, our guest speaker Andrea Moriarty leveraged her son’s passion, talent, and personality to help him create an out-of-the-box vocation: a podcast. After more than eighty interviews, she recognized three vital attitudes that people with disabilities teach us—risk taking, humility, and kindness. And when we integrate these people into society, we all thrive.
Come learn more about Radical Inclusion, which is a call to step out of our comfort zones, care about others, extend grace, and enhance our own lives and communities.
Guest Speaker: Andrea Moriarty, Mom, Author, and Cofounder of Banding Together
Andrea Moriarty is the cofounder of Banding Together, a music therapy nonprofit and author of "One-Track Mind: 15 Ways to Amplify Your Child's Special Interest" and "Radical Inclusion: What I Learned About Risk, Humility, and Kindness from My Son with Autism."
