What Would Nola Do?

Gerry, a wife and working mom, navigates life's challenges while raising a teenager with Down syndrome, supporting a friend with a brain injury, and watching her mother decline into dementia. Through humor, resilience, and life's ups and downs, she learns valuable lessons and reflects on what her mother, Nola, would do.

Always mom first, now a grandmother as well, Dr. Geralyn Anderson Arango is a Professor of Education, Emerita at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, PA. Gerry writes, teaches and consults on topics pertaining to intellectual disability across all phases of life. She is the host of 'Our Parallel Paths: A Future for My Loved One with a Disability... and For Me!' a podcast produced by Networks for Training and Development. Gerry lives in Wilmington, Delaware with her husband Michael, and hopes that their imminent retirement won't make them weirder than their cats.
