Receiving A Diagnosis of Down Syndrome

Welcome to The SEND Mum Club podcast! In this first episode I talk about my journey after finding out my son Leo has Down syndrome. I reflect on the feelings I had waiting for the test results to come back, the moment we received his diagnosis and the path I’ve been on since. 

I’m very honest about the wide ranging emotions I had (and still have sometimes) as I want this podcast to be a safe space for my future guests to open up about all aspects of raising a child with additional needs while also celebrating the absolute joy our children bring us, and the whole new world they’ve opened our eyes to.
