Wish You Knew Wednesday

This November, we’re relaunching our Wish You Knew Wednesday (WYKW) campaign with a heartfelt invitation to parents and caregivers of individuals with special needs. Every story holds power—the power to connect, to uplift, and to break down barriers around what it means to live with special needs. 

We want to hear your story. What do you wish others knew about your family’s journey, challenges, or the incredible experiences you share with your loved ones? We believe that by sharing your truth, you can help us inspire understanding around disabilities and foster a community where no one feels alone. 

Your voice matters, so let’s make sure it's heard!

Every Wednesday this November, we’ll be sharing the powerful stories that celebrate the highs and honor the challenges of living with a loved one who has special needs. 

These stories will shine a light on the moments that fill your heart with pride—the joy of watching your loved one inspire and touch others, the victories of reaching milestones, and the struggles that make every step forward even more meaningful. 

Every experience you have with your loved one is a chapter in a beautiful and courageous journey, and we’re here to share it all.

In addition to sharing your story during WYKW, we invite you and your loved ones to explore an often overlooked topic: The connection between special needs and incontinence. 

Many don’t realize that incontinence, the loss of bladder and / or bowel control, is a common challenge for individuals with special needs.

With nearly 3 million children in the U.S. living with special needs, such as autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and more, studies show that between 23% and 86% of these children may face urinary incontinence. Adults with disabilities account for 26% of the U.S. population, and many of them may also experience incontinence. 

Yet, so many families are unaware that this could be a part of their journey. By opening up this conversation during WYKW, we can raise awareness, share resources, and offer support to those navigating this deeply personal experience. 

If your loved one has been diagnosed with a form of incontinence, they may qualify to receive free incontinence supplies through their insurance plan with Aeroflow Urology. Check their eligibility today in less than 2 minutes!
