Have you ever wondered what adulthood looks like for adults with special needs? Hali and Micah give us their first hand perspective! There can be a definite struggle between, even for the family and friends of the individual! Also, notice the difference between the two perspectives, with Hali living at home, and Micah living on his own. It was a pleasure interviewing Micah about his love for his job at United Supermarkets, and a secret fact that we discovered talking about 90's baseball! #disability #specialneeds #siblings #disabilitynews #disabilityawareness #adulting

Entering her mid-30s, Hali is a full fledged adult by all standards, but the characteristics of her disabilities limit what she can do as an adult. What does she think about that? How does she define being independent? How about being included? She discusses these, plus her first show review! Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter at www.halisweeklynews.com!

In this episode of Hali's Weekly News, Hali sits down to talk with Pediatrician Dr. Shari Medford. Dr. Medford discusses her career, and how her medical career changed when her daughter was born with Down Syndrome. Although she started her medical career focusing on pediatric infectious diseases, her practice now focuses on children with disabilities. Dr. Medford has always been a tremendous supporter of Hali, and we were honored to steal some of her time to make this happen!

Hali travels, just outside of Amarillo, TX to High Plains Children's Home, and interviews Drew Perkins. Asking him the hard questions about Hope! #disability #specialneeds #disabilityawareness #siblings #hope #spreadhope #childrenshome #halisweeklynews

If you have a child with special needs, you might have wondered what life may be like as they grow into adulthood. Brad and Karen Thompson founded The Hali Project in 1999, to serve families with kids with disabilities by helping them work with the school system. As Hali grew older, the challenges changed, which meant The Hali Project adapted how they served families to meet the needs they observed during the twists and turns of Hali's marathon. They are a great example of how to maintain hope in the midst of chaos, even when they get it wrong.
