About this listen
Are you a caregiver trying to figure out what life looks like for your adult child or loved one with special needs? You've found your people. Adult Special Needs Caregiving is the podcast for parents, family members, and carers who are navigating the world of adult disability care and services. Host Jenny Olson is a mom of five, including a young adult son with autism and intellectual disabilities who will need lifelong care. She gets it because she's living it too.
This show is your go-to resource for real answers on adult special needs support, disability services, and caregiver community. Whether you're just starting to figure out the transition from school to adulthood, or you've been in the trenches for years, this podcast was made for you.
Every week, Jenny tackles the topics that other shows skip over. Think SSI versus SSDI, Medicaid waivers, special needs trusts, guardianship versus power of attorney, how to find disability-friendly doctors, and what to do when your waiver application gets denied. She also covers the stuff that hits close to home, like what caregiving stress does to your marriage and family, how to talk to siblings about future care plans, and how to take care of yourself without the guilt.
You'll hear honest stories from other special needs caregivers who have been where you are. You'll get expert interviews from people who actually know these systems. And you'll walk away with real, practical resources you can use right away.
If you've ever googled "how to apply for SSI" at 2am, cried in your car because no one understands, or felt totally lost trying to find disability services and support for your adult child, this podcast is for you. The special needs cliff is real. The confusion is real. But so is the help, and we are going to find it together.
This is more than a podcast. It's a community of caregivers who truly get what this life is like. You are not alone, and you are doing better than you think.
Subscribe now and join a growing community of special needs carers, parents, and disability advocates. New episodes drop every week.
