  • An absolute must!

    I have been a member of HSDLA in the past and somehow missed this podcast. I absolutely love the faith based podcast that gives parents and caregivers support for our neurodivergent kiddos. I have not been able to listen to all but the ones I have hit home in some way or another. Thank you so much for your support in our HS journey through Christ!
