About Us
Julia and Jessica are two mothers that became parents at a very young age. They continue to navigate the trials of having children diagnosed with a variety of special abilities. They came together as friends in university and began to discuss their children and the struggles surrounding the process. Through this they became a support system for each other along each step of their children’s journey to diagnosis.
Jessica who is a mom of seven children, writes about her journey and struggles as a mother which provides an anecdotal look into her life.
Julia a mother of many talents has worked her way through advocating and helping other parents navigate through the process of community, educational and government supports. Always open to help others.
Over the years we have both suffered losses of family supports, jobs, finances, and friends. Having a child with special needs can take over every second, minute and hour of a day that some may not understand.
Today diagnosing and receiving help for our children can seem like a massive, terrifying task. We have come together with tips, tricks, and resources that worked for us.
