What to Expect When You Weren't Expecting This: Demystifying Pediatric Palliative Care for Children with Complex Needs
Join Courageous Parents Network’s Lindsey Topping-Schuetz as she demystifies pediatric palliative care and shares how it has profoundly impacted her family’s journey raising a medically complex child learning to communicate with AAC. Parenting without a roadmap can feel overwhelming, but anticipatory guidance offers families invaluable insight into what to expect—both medically and emotionally—along the way. Lindsey will also introduce "NeuroJourney", a free digital tool designed to support caregivers and clinicians in navigating the complexities of care for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Learn how these resources have empowered her to collaborate more effectively with her son’s medical team and how they can help you or the families you support.

PRESENTED BY
Lindsey Topping-Schuetz, Caregiver
Lindsey entered the advocacy arena when her son was prenatally diagnosed with two rare genetic abnormalities, one of which is 5p- Syndrome. After Owen’s birth, Lindsey had to leave her career to become his full-time caregiver, therapist, nurse, and advocate. During this time, Lindsey has become well acquainted with the shortcomings that exist in our culture, communities, and medical system for patients and families of medically fragile children.
Lindsey holds a part-time position with the Courageous Parents Network and serves on the Board of Directors for the NW Rare Disease Coalition. She resides in Puyallup, WA, with her husband Ben, their son Owen, and their puppy Dolly.
