What if what Jesus said was true, that the greatest among us are the least of these? This episode we talk about people with disabilities. They are some of the most forgotten and marginalized group of people on the planet and they are here to teach us something. Both my guest, Mary Tutterow, and I have children with cognitive and physical disabilities and they have been the most effective people to teach us the secrets of the Kingdom of God. This episode is very special for me, as I have not talked about my daughter, Canaan, in many, many years. Connect with Mary's work. Watch us on YouTube. Join our FREE Facebook group.

We’re so pleased to talk today with Lee Lombardo from the YMCA of Orange County. She has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1996 and has been in the fields of social services and mental health since the mid-80s. Lee has always had a heart to serve vulnerable populations in the community. The programs that Lee currently oversees are two that focus on those with developmental disabilities. One program is for adults and the other one that is our focus today is for children ages 3-17. Join us for this incredible glimpse inside their children’s program and be sure to stay tuned for information on an upcoming event organized by the YMCA of Orange County, in honor of Disabilities Awareness Month! Show Highlights: Lee describes some of the varied programs offered by the YMCA. One program that she oversees is for children with developmental or intellectual disabilities, whose parents work and need a place to be after school. This particular program provides one-to-one aides for children with special needs in their after-school programs throughout Orange County. Each child who comes into the program gets an assessment and individualized goals. The aide works with the child on the goals, and also works with the site staff and other children towards “their” child’s inclusion in all the program’s activities. Lee’s provides an overview of the program training for staff, but it all starts with the principle that all kids are different.  In honor of Disabilities Awareness Month, the YMCA of Orange County will be presenting Caring for a Child with Special Needs - A Panel Discussion on Thursday, March 18, 2021, from 6 PM – 7:30 PM PDT. This is a panel of experts (including our very own Vickie Brett!!) discussing everything from early detection, resources for your child, and advocacy support with school intervention.
