Rachel Scott

Wheel Stories

Rachel Scott joins Wheel Stories for episode 19. Rachel is a mother of five, a former middle school math teacher, a marathon runner, and a connoisseur of seltzer and tacos. Most recently she's found herself in a new role: a special needs mom. Her second son was diagnosed with Acute Flaccid Myelitis, a polio-like, paralyzing disease in 2016. Since then, she's become an expert on all things Braden and an advocate for the AFM community.

In this episode Rachel and I talk about:

  • Acute Flaccid Myelitis
  • Our enneagram numbers
  • Enjoying Disney with kids with a disability
  • Special needs parenting
  • Managing chaos
  • Advocating for a rare disease
  • Why you need to wash your hands
