In this episode we talk to Lee about her experiences of being an adoptive parent to a little boy with additional needs. We hear about their journey from their first meeting, when they recognised that Ben had some differences in his development and no spoken language, to the current day, where Ben chats happily about the importance of antibodies and the adventures of Super Tiger (his own creation!).

This is a story about the power of believing in your child and the importance of not listening to everything you are told!

In this week's episode I interview Debbie who is Mum to the amazing @Azagury_jackitoart! I have known Jack and his family since he was 3 and a half when they used to visit me for play sessions at my Harley Street office in London. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch Jack's journey over the years and see him blossom into a phenomenal artist who has won awards and had his work exhibited across the UK.

You can follow Jack's art on instagram and Twitter on @Azagury_jackitoart

In our first ever Play2Pod episode, I interview 2 of our Blue Sky heroes, Gillian and Katie.

Gillian shares the frustrations of the early stages of trying to get help and support for Katie, the lack of services and the positive changes that came once she found a therapy approach that really worked for Katie. Katie has gone on to make enormous progress over the years, and you will be hearing all about what she would like to do when she grows up!

A great start to our Stories of Hope series, and a true testament to never, ever giving up!
