Aleha is a year 12 student, who has a hidden disability. Her disability is called panhypopituitarism, a disability that impacts the functionality of the pituitary gland. For her Extended Qualification Project, an additional research project A level students can do when in Sixth Form or college, Aleha is focusing on the relationship between Hidden Disabilities and mental health. As part of her project, Aleha has recorded a podcast for the School Should Be podcast to discuss what it feels like to grow up with a hidden disability and speaks very candidly about the everyday impact this can have on a young person's life. Aleha has navigated living with her illness with great strength and resilience and now wants to help all young people who may be struggling or feel lonely as a result of their condition. In this podcast she shares some excellent tips and strategies for schools, teachers and parents on how we can support young people with hidden disabilities. It hasn't all been smooth sailing for Aleha and she speaks authentically about her experiences, whilst injecting hope and applying a positive lens to living a life with a hidden disability.
