Mighty Member since April 2020
I´m Angela Couret, mother of three, the youngest, Alberto, with intellectual disabilities. For the last 35 years, I have documented and shared our family’s journey through Pasoapaso.com.ve, a Venezuelan website providing information, inspiration and resources to Latin-American families and professionals interested in disability and special education topics. Most parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) would agree that raising our children with special needs poses quite a few challenges, while bringing incredible moments of joy. In my case, it’s been therapeutic to share these challenges and some of our solutions! We recently moved back to the United States, after a lifetime in South America. The urge to continue sharing our experience – now from the perspective of veteran parents of an adult with IDD – prompts these contributions, now in English! I’m grateful and proud of becoming a Mighty Voice!
