Show Notes
Even though Melanie’s son was born with brain damage, she wanted so badly to believe he’d be fine.
But when he was diagnosed with a permanent disability, everything changed. Melanie talks about the unexpected joys and the day-to-day experience of parenting a child with special needs.
Joan Bratel from Cerebral Palsy Alliance gives advice on coming to terms with a diagnosis like this and the support available.
