The I Am Able IOWA radio program broadcasts live on the first and final Saturday of the month from 9:00-10:00am. During the first show, Daniel made a powerful statement that he understood why we were doing the show – so that he, who was diagnosed as autistic at an early age, and that his family were not alone in their journey – and that has been a theme that has tied all of the programs together.
