Smiles Included: Navigating through life with our rare disease superheroes
As a mom of a son with Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome, a WDR26-related intellectual disability, I started listening to podcasts as a form of therapy and to get advice for how to navigate through the emotions and questions that come with having a child with a rare disease diagnosis. I started this podcast for those impacted by Skraban-Deardorff, and other rare diseases, as a way to share stories, ask and answer questions, get advice and have a platform where we can work to understand together what the diagnosis means and how we can support each other. The podcast will feature guests and experts across the rare disease spectrum that highlight how to bring out the best in our rare kids and showcase that we are not alone, but part of a great community of people supporting our rare children. If you have any topics you would like to be discussed on the show, or if you would like to be a guest, please reach out to me at SmilesIncludedPodcast@gmail.com.
