Our guest this week is James “Jamo” Myles of Georgetown, Grand Cayman who is father of seven, including two with ASD and who is a coordinator with the Department of Youth Services for the Cayman Islands.

James and his wife, Melissa, have been married for two years and between them they are the proud parents of seven children; his children: Ahmed (28), Jamar (23), Jarrod (23) and Sarah (14) and Melissa’s children; Novano (22), Myra (17) and Jade (13). Both Jarrod and Sarah have Autism.

James is a proud member of the Myles family one of the largest families in the Cayman Islands. We also learn about how his faith has guided him, his Youth Flex Radio program and Inclusion Cayman (formerly the Special Needs Trust) whose mission as an independent, impartial non-profit organization is to: 'advocate on behalf of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.'

James has an engaging personality and has quite a story to tell. And we’ll hear it 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 500+ 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.
