  • Summary

  • On this episode of Why This Now? by Re:Set, we bring to light the journey of raising a child with an intellectual/developmental disability.

     

    Founder of support platforms for parents of children with special needs in Kenya and a mother of children with genetic conditions herself Christine Mutena, along with Meghnaa Surana, mother of a child with Down Syndrome and founder of a support group for the Down Syndrome community, open up about the stages of life a parent of a child with an intellectual/developmental disability goes through, from happy milestones to disheartening setbacks. And to give a macro perspective on the topic, Director of Global Development and Government Relations at Special Olympics Meghan Hussey, from her experience working in various countries, talks about the change that can take place when the fields of healthcare, education and policy come together.
