SLP 325: How to Navigate Difficult Conversations About Your Child's Diagnosis with Family and Friends - With Parent Anna Tullemans

Description

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Relationship Closeness: How close you are determines how much detail needed. ✅ Child-Specific Information: Only share what's relevant to your specific child's diagnosis. ✅ Ongoing Conversation: Disclosure isn't one-time; understanding evolves with child's growth. ✅ Start Positive: Lead with strengths before discussing challenges or differences. ✅ Assess Understanding: Know what people already understand before explaining diagnosis. ✅ Boundary Setting: Teach child strategies to meet family members halfway. ✅ Balance Always: Always pair negative traits with positive qualities shown.
