Kathy Snow is a wife and mother as well as an author, public speaker, trainer, consultant, and host of the website, "Disability is Natural". Her son Benjamin was born in 1987 in Texas, and diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. She took Benjamin to therapy, welcomed therapists and early intervention people and would have won, hands down, the therapy 'Mom of the Year award', but within a year, she began to question the conventional wisdom of disability world. In this podcast, Kathy shares many of Benjamin's achievements attained on his journey from childhood and teenage years, through to adulthood, including community participation, literary accomplishments, and award winning short film and a master's degree.
