I was more committed to processing all of our thoughts, fears, and experiences in the previous years, but I suppose other tasks and responsibilities took over.

Insurance is BULL $#%^
Special needs have all kinds of challenges, both upfront and many “behind the scenes”.

But, the battle for traditional physical therapy has secured my confidence that…
