Why Book Beth?
Most speakers on inclusion give you theory. Beth gives you truth.
✓ She's lived it: Mom to a daughter with Down syndrome, ADHD, and likely autism
✓ She's worked in it: LPN with firsthand medical and care experience
✓ She's written about it: Published author with 500+ books sold
✓ She gets it: Blended family of 5 kids—she knows the beautiful chaos
Her talks aren't polished speeches. They're conversations. The kind that make you feel less alone, more understood, and ready to see the kids in your life through a different lens.
