Episode 1 – Scouting with Special Needs
Sandy and I had a great discussion about helping scouts with Autism and a wide variety of other special needs. Sandy went over the resources available to help units integrate these scouts into their program. We also talked about how to start a Scouting with Special Needs (or Disabilities Awareness) Committee in your council.
You really need to listen to the end. There’s a story that will take your breath away.
