In this episode, Rina and Lauren talk with Jazz Manley about her experience of searching for answers and a diagnosis for her son Max. Jazz is very open about her own vulnerability and mental health struggles. She discusses her son’s difficult birth and the challenges she faced when he was young, when her concerns surrounding her son were not shared by others and she felt unheard.

In Episode 6, we discuss Couples Relationships, with Clare and George, who are parents to Ada and Ivo and the impact that having a disabled child has on their relationship.

An eye-opening, heart-warming and hilarious account of this fabulous couple’s story. Covering everything from finding out you’re pregnant after the second date, moving in together after three months, to being told your child’s autism diagnosis, whilst pregnant with your second child.

In episode 5 Lauren and Rina talk about a skill we have all had to develop as parents of disabled children – advocacy - with Mum of two and lawyer Caroline MacPake (Withers professionally).

Systems of support aren’t always automatically in place for disabled children and their families, and the world simply has not been designed for disabled people. As parents of disabled children, we have to champion, persuade and shout loudly on our kids behalf.
