  • Summary

  • The Hou To Guide is both a podcast and blog that focuses on everyday life, travel, and accessibility. With the main focus on how to live a life you love when someone you love has a disability. Inspired by our own journey becoming parents to a special needs child, we strive to be a resource in a barrage of information that can be difficult to wade through. We will offer advice, what has worked for us and is working for us, as well as feature other families and experts. We will also document our everyday lives and discuss both the challenges, changes, and surprises we experience as a family of 6. We also want to highlight both local and larger travel, with a focus on national parks within the United States.
