Episode Synopsis

Happy Sunday, everyone! In today’s episode, we’re tackling a somewhat sensitive topic: What African Parents of Children with Disabilities Need to Hear. I’m sure we all know at least one family member who has an intellectual or developmental disability—whether it's autism or another condition. Unfortunately, there is often a stigma surrounding these individuals, which is why I believe it's so important to shed light on this issue. Join Ms. Elizabeth and me as we discuss the stigmas, stereotypes, and mindsets of many African parents. More importantly, we’ll explore how we as a community can shift our mindset to better support and bring out the best in our loved ones with disabilities.
