Listen Later

In this podcast episode, we meet Sarah, a single mum of two from Bristol, about her experiences navigating life with her 12 year old PDAer daughter, Isla, and Isla's older brother. Sarah shares insights from her journey, detailing the challenges of finding the right educational setting for Isla, the difficulties with local authorities, her transition to home education, and her passion for advocacy within the special educational needs community. Sarah also reflects on personal growth, self-care, staying optimistic, and balancing the dynamics of parenting two children with different needs while finishing her degree and planning to pursue a career in social work.
