Our Personal Preferences and Summer Favorites

"Fast 15" with Champions of Special Education

Welcome to The Launch Buddies Podcast, where we celebrate the power of connection, self-expression, and building relationships. In this episode, our charismatic host Darien, along with co-hosts Barb and Andrew, lead a lively discussion about sharing personal preferences, finding common interests, and embracing the joy of connecting with others.
Join us as we dive into the importance of exploring a variety of interests and activities that allow us to connect socially and build meaningful relationships. We'll share heartwarming stories, valuable insights, and practical tips to help parents, teachers, self-advocates, and all our amazing buddies navigate the journey of building connections.
As the summer season begins, we'll inspire you to step out of your comfort zone, try new things, and plan ahead for exciting social events.
