When Your Daughter With Special Needs Is Diagnosed With Schizophrenia at 22
Patty Kikos has the pleasure of interviewing Way Ahead CEO, Sharon Grocott, whose daughter Amber, was born with a physical and mild intellectual disability. She was not able to kick or catch a ball or experience feeling on the balls of her feet, but Amber could ride a horse and compete in dressage comps. Despite learning to thrive, Sharon’s family’s lives were turned upside down when Amber was hospitalised at age 22 with psychosis, before being officially diagnosed with schizophrenia.
