Sandy Ramsey

Sandy Ramsey, author of "When Dreams Are Disrupted," left her corporate career over two decades ago to become a full-time caregiver for her son with special needs and her two young daughters. In addition to being “Mom,” Sandy also had to become her son’s primary medical caregiver, responsible for dialysis, central line care, seizure management, post-transplant care, and more. She has also been his advocate and, when needed, has done stints as his teacher; speech, occupational, and physical therapist; and hospital stay companion. Because she understands how it feels being thrust into this overwhelming and, sometimes, daunting role, Sandy founded UNDisabled LIVES to encourage and empower other parents of children with special needs or disabilities. Through her writing, coaching, and speaking, Sandy helps to reinvigorate hope and strength for their unique parenting journeys. Sandy has been married to her husband, Terry, for 33 years. Together, they make a great team. In her free time, Sandy enjoys reading, doing HIIT workouts and jigsaw puzzles, and spending time with family and friends.
