The SEND Sisterhood
S2 - Episode 9: Parenting with a Disability
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this penultimate episode Dee and Nat meet up with Andrea H, who worked in the social care sector for over 15 years; a career that was driven by her empathetic nature, understanding and belief that everyone deserves quality care.
Within this period, she became a single mum to two, now teenaged queens; and she was also diagnosed with progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS); an incurable condition that effects the brain and spinal cord.
In this episode Andrea discusses the changes from being a able bodied person to having to adapt to not only being diagnosed, but also being an active and present parent for both her girls.
