#31: Special Needs Mamas: Full of Strength, Hope, and Heart - Right From the Start {Part 3}

Welcome to the final installment of a very special 3-part episode series we have featured here on the Boob Broads, shining the spotlight on mamas of children with special needs. In this final episode of the series, Julie chats with her friend, Brittni, amazing mama to sweet Madison, who has autism.
“Mom instinct is real. I knew something needed to happen and I stuck to it,” and there began Brittni’s dedication to ensuring sweet Maddie was given every opportunity to succeed, and have the best life possible. Diagnosed at 18 months old, Maddie (3.5 years old now) is currently in 35 hours of therapy a week and has made leaps and bounds in her development, which Brittni says couldn’t have been accomplished without their team of therapists who have become family. Brittni emphasizes how important early intervention, along with familial support can be for a family who has just received an autism diagnosis.
Though life with a special needs child may be full of paperwork, insurance phone calls, and many hours of therapies, Brittni explains, the most important thing to remember in the process is to view your child’s world through their eyes. And, as you’ll hear in this episode, everything Brittni does is for the pure intent of making Maddie’s World the very best it can be.
Tune in and listen to Brittni’s story, and be prepared to feel inspired at the end.
We support you always, Maddie! <3
