    Episode 36

    In this powerful episode, Chanette returns to share her raw and eye-opening experience as a long-term substitute teacher in an Autism-focused classroom within a challenging school district. Thrust into a whirlwind of chaos, she innovated creative solutions to empower her students to thrive—only to face repeated denials from the district, unwilling to fund the essential supports each child desperately needed. As a dedicated Special Education advocate, Chanette's heartbreaking story exposes the ongoing crisis in education: districts failing to provide proper resources, staff training, and qualified personnel for high-needs environments, leading to teacher burnout and denying individuals with disabilities their right to flourish. Join us as we amplify the urgent call to action—standing up for the rights of students with disabilities and their families to ensure every child gets the successful, supported education they deserve!

    Today’s guest is Lisa Matto. She is a mother of an inspiring woman with Down Syndrome who lives life to the fullest! She believes whole heartily that individuals with disabilities should be included in everything and not told they can’t because of their disability. She wrote her own book describing her experience of raising her daughter and all the joys and hardships that came along.   Book Details:  Title: Up Side of Downs Author: Lisa Matto Description: telling the story of her daughter, Marlee, is about sharing her sense of wonder and delight with a broader audience. Marlee has an infectious smile, big heart and mischievous sense of humor. She also has Down Syndrome. The Up Side of Downs, Lisa’s first published book, tells Marlee’s story through a series of hilarious and heartfelt anecdotes that capture exactly what the title suggests. Lisa said, “Marlee would get herself into situations that were sometimes really funny, and sometimes really nerve-wracking.” When she would recount these stories to family and friends, they would often tell her that she needed to write it all down. Eventually, there were enough stories to compile into a book. The book not only highlights the adventures of Marlee, but also the incredibly inclusive neighborhood, community, and school district where she grew up.
