Series: Kicking off the School Year

“Everything No One Tells You About” with Kelly Coleman

Welcome to today’s episode. As a parent of a child with special needs there is so much to know and do! There are school IEPs to advocate at for educational needs, there are insurance companies to haggle with for medical needs, and there are government programs to apply for and renew annually for resource needs. It’s an endless stream of paperwork and there's often not one clear road map to tell you where to go to find all the resources needed.

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce you to Kelley Coleman. Kelley has written a book called “ Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your guide to the eccential systems, services, and supports”. We know you’re gonna love this informative episode.

“Kicking off the School Year Organized” with Angela O'Brien

Welcome to Season 4 of the Podcast! We hope you all enjoyed your summer. We know how crazy the summer can be with being off schedule. We hope you had a chance to enjoy time with family and friends.

You are going to love this episode. Angela Obrien from the Especially Organized Podcast is back to kick off the school year with us with a few tips for how to be more organized in a way that reclaims the calm for all of us parents. So lets get started with todays fun episode!

Bio:

Angela O’Brien is a wife, mother of two, professional organizer, certified Enneagram coach, and host of the podcast Especially Organized: Sensible Solutions for Special Needs Moms. After graduate school, Angela spent time at several Fortune 500 companies in various sales, marketing, and brand management roles. When her daughter was born with Down Syndrome, she made the switch to stay-at-home mom to focus on her daughter’s extra needs. In 2021, Angela started Your Space Reclaimed, a professional organizing business where she coaches busy women through their clutter so that they can reclaim the space, freedom, and energy to do the things they love to do. In early 2023, Angela presented to a group of moms raising kids with Down Syndrome. She was so inspired by the conversation and the organizing needs of this community that she started a podcast to help special needs moms get organized and has shifted her business focus toward helping caregivers of kids with special needs get more organized in their daily life. Angela lives in Dallas, TX with her husband of 26 years. She has volunteered in various roles at the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas since 2005, including as a member of their Board of Directors. Currently, she loves to hold precious babies when she meets with new parents at the Down Syndrome Clinic at Children’s Medical Center Dallas and serves on the Board of Directors at her daughter’s beloved school, the Notre Dame School of Dallas.
