2 Moms No Fluff

A podcast where we discuss the uncensored and often irreverent reality of raising children with disabilities. We invite you to join Alma Schneider (LCSW) and Iris Mehler (MS, CRC), two seasoned moms of kids with disabilities. These two have nothing in common except that they are always right and have everything under control. NOT! No topic is off limits so bring it on in your comments and suggestions for future episodes. You’re a part of our journey.
