Experiencing God's Grace in a Special Needs Family
Sandra Peoples
In November 2010, Sandra Peoples took her son James to the pediatrician and received a life-changing diagnosis – her little boy had autism. Having noticed the warning signs in his behavior, the diagnosis brought a mixture of relief and pain, while also promising many difficulties ahead. But through the challenges, Sandra has learned so much about God’s grace and how to find joy through the simple moments of life.
In this interview, Sandra will give hope to parents of children with special needs. She’ll talk about how to find a supportive community, as well as provide advice for connecting with God during the difficult days.
