The Catholic Morning Show
Dr. Ryan Allen, president of the FIRE Foundation of Northwest Iowa, joins the Catholic Morning Show to share how his daughter Sawyer's birth with Down syndrome sparked a mission to welcome students with disabilities into Catholic schools. He explains how FIRE — Families for Inclusive Religious Education — funds interventionists, paraprofessionals, adaptive technology, and teacher training across the Diocese of Sioux City through major and micro-grants. Ryan also previews the 6th Annual Ignite the Fire fundraiser and shares why inclusive education benefits every student, not just those it was designed for.
