While each and every child is unique, the unfortunate reality is that some children have conditions that may challenge their development such as autism, ADHD, or dyslexia.

In this episode of the Hey Mama podcast, and in celebration of Autism Acceptance Month, Hey Mama brings to you a topic that has seen growing significance and importance in recent years: Caring for Special Needs Children.

Parenting blogger Kelvin Seah and founder of DYStinctive support Group Sarah Lee-Wong Mayfern come on this episode to share about their experiences bringing up their children with special needs: from first discovering their neurological challenges, searching far and wide for solutions and answers, to accepting them for who they are, and finally journeying with them one step at a time while advocating for a more gracious and open community.
