Peita’s Invaluable Advice To Parents Of Children With A Disability
In this episode, we chat with Peita, an accountant-turned-NDIS Support Coordinator.
Peita takes us through her transition from accounting to working in disability support and she tells us about life with Emjay – her 10-year-old daughter who lives with disabilities.
When she was only 6 months old, Emjay began to have seizures. This began a series of tests and medication trials that, years later, led to a diagnosis of Dravet Syndrome. We chat with Peita about her family’s experiences and what it takes to support Emjay’s personal journey.
Having experienced first-hand the challenges of NDIS plans and procedures, Peita jumped at the opportunity to help other families navigate the process. As we always say here at Be Physiology – the goal of disability support services should be to no longer need us! Peita backs us up and shares positive stories of people she’s seen make that move toward independence. She offers invaluable advice to parents of children with disabilities and stresses the importance of building a positive support team. Peita is a great example of how the right support can have a life-changing impact on families and individuals alike.
So, sit back, turn up the volume, and get ready to learn!
Be Stories By Be Physiology | Season 2 of UNAWARE
Tune in to hear our amazing guests talk about their experiences of disability. Ever wondered how it feels to live with a spinal cord injury? Or what it’s like to use a wheelchair every day? Curious about how a brain injury can affect someone’s day-to-day life?
We discuss all this (and more!) in our second season of the podcast, titled ‘Be Stories’. Gain valuable insights into the world of NDIS support work, and learn what you definitely shouldn’t say to a person living with disabilities! We chat about the perks of living with disabilities (convenient parking is one of many) and discover more about the challenges our guests have faced and overcome.
We feel so privileged to be given the chance to discuss life and disability with these incredible people. Get ready for a stream of honest and eye-opening conversations – with a lot of laughs along the way!
P.S. This podcast contains a number of shameless plugs for exercise physiology, the most fantastic industry in the world. And no, of course, we’re not biased…
