Our guest this week is Jason Hsieh of University Park, WA. Jason and his wife Miho have been married for 11 years and are the proud parents of three children: Moani (3) who has speech delays, Luana (7) who was diagnosed with Leukemia, and Keanu (10), who has Autism and ADHD. Jason is founder of LakiKid, a company whose motto is to 'Empower Kids To Have A Life Full Of Possibilities' and that sells sensory tools and toys that help kids with autism and other special needs at school and at home. Jason is also a member of the first SFN Dads MasterMind Group, composed of eight SFN fathers who meet weekly to encourage and support one another. It’s a fascinating story and we’ll hear it on this Special Fathers Network Dad to Dad Podcast.Show Links - LakiKid Website - https://lakikid.com KultureCity Website - https://www.kulturecity.orgWashington State Fathers Network - https://fathersnetwork.orgSpecial Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
