Unlocking the STRONG in everyone. A conversation with Donna Lankford of Special Strong

Every now and then I come across a business and am just blown away. Special Strong is one of those. ​If you haven’t heard of Special Strong, I cannot wait to introduce you to them today.

I first learned of Special Strong on Instagram, and it is now an account that is 100% guaranteed to make me smile. Special Strong serves the special needs population in several ways, including providing personal training. If you want to see the look of joy and confidence spread over someone’s face, go check them out.

Special Strong  seeks to empower the mind, body, and spirit of the special needs population with the strength and confidence to live a more independent and abundant life. 

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Donna Lankford, the office manager for Special Strong and the mother of a special needs child. ​

We discuss:

• The origins of Special Strong. 
• What STRONG stands for.
• The tangible and intangible benefits of client training and why the intangible can outweigh the physical benefits.
• Why Special Strong can be helpful for those who are not in a structured setting.
• The individual evaluation and process for optimal training.
• How to help and support parents of special needs children.
• What NOT to say to to a special needs parent.
• Other words to show support.
• Appropriate responses when you see outbursts to people you don’t know in public.
• How to try a free personal training session with Special Strong.
• How to become certified to train in the special needs community.
• Approaching the nutrition process with a special needs client.
