Today – the parent perspective

Many years ago, before I really knew what I was doing with videos, I put together a compilation of the everyday things families of children with disabilities go through. The everyday things which may be in one set of case notes but not another, or  more likely not in any notes, the everyday things parents tend to tell each other but not providers.

The idea was to produce a video which shared with practitioners the things they need to think about before meeting a family.

Like I said, this was my very first video so I apologise for the speed (I hadn’t learned how to slow things down).

However, the message is still the same and many people have used extensively this video (from the UK to Australia) to help put the parents’ perspective over to practitioners and as of Sept 2024 had over 33K views on YouTube.

I would love to hear your comments, as I am constantly updating this to deliver to workshops.  What other examples should be in there?
