Kertisha: Navigating the Journey: A SEN Mum's Story of Love and Resilience

In this episode, we welcome Kertisha, a dedicated mother to her five-year-old son, Theo, who has special educational needs (SEN). Kertisha shares her journey of realising that something was amiss with Theo when he began exhibiting concerning behaviours, such as head banging. Diagnosed at the age of two, Kertisha reflects on the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, especially when initial responses to her concerns were dismissive. She discusses the impact of being a COVID baby on Theo's development and her quest for answers as she sought to understand her son's needs better. This heartfelt conversation aims to connect with other parents in the SEN community, providing a sense of solidarity and understanding. Tune in to hear Kertisha's inspiring story and insights into the world of special needs parenting.
