Fall and Recovery: Raising Children with Disabilities through Lessons Learned in Dance with Joanne De Simone

Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan

Dr. Dan interviews Joanne De Simone about raising children with disabilities on this powerful episode. Joanne is a modern dancer turned mom and special education advocate. She faced profound challenges when her first child was diagnosed with a life-limiting brain malformation, and her second child with autism. Drawing from her colorful background in dance, Joanne discovered unexpected life lessons that shaped her approach to parenting and her advocacy work.

Dr. Dan and Joanne discuss her parenting journey and Joanne's inspiring book Fall and Recovery. Joanne shares her wisdom with Dr. Dan and listeners: she accepts that life is messy and that motherhood can be hard and beautiful at the same time.
