Janice Fialka and Richard Feldman discuss inclusion, how they got through the pandemic as a family, overcoming individualism, learning how to ask, letting go, and much more of interest to families of children and young adults with intellectual disabilities. Their wisdom, advice, and stories have golden nuggets for parents of younger children as well as adults with disabilities, and of course community allies.

Though they both say they are retired, Janice and Richard continue to be sought after presenters and public speakers on issues relating to disability, inclusion, building community, advocacy, and more. Janice is also the author of four books, and a poet.

Richard and Janice are the proud parents of Micah Fialka-Feldman, one of the stars of the acclaimed film, "Intelligent Lives". Micah has an intellectual disability.
