Summary: Welcome to Our Parallel Paths - A Future for My Loved One With a Disability... And Me! On Our Parallel Paths, we'll talk about creating a promising future for the child with an intellectual disability who becomes an adult and a promising future for ourselves as our role as parent, family member, caregiver. Whoever we are evolves alongside them. There's more than one path, more than one future to talk about. And that's why we're here. Some remarkable people will share their stories in upcoming episodes. I'll be listening with you, and I'll have some questions for our guests too.
