SFN Dad To Dad 392 -Dion Chavis of Raleigh, NC Founder & President of The Glad Dad LLC And Father of Two Including A Son With ASD

Our guest this week is Dion Chavis of Raleigh, NC, a former radio personality, founder and president of the Glad Dad LLC, and father of two children, including one with Autism.

Dion and his wife, Aisha, have married for 9 years and are the proud parents of Maceo (7) who is on the Autism spectrum. Dion is also the father to daughter Nyla (21) from a previous marriage.

For decades, Dion has been an outspoken advocate for and dedicated to improving the lives of children and fathers. Through the Glad Dads LLC, he offers coaching, mentoring and training.

Dion also used to host two podcasts: "Dads In The Class" and "Black Parenting." We also learn about the Frankie Lemmon School & Development Center and the impact the organization has with young children.

It’s a fascinating conversation on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
