DIAL LOUNGES

DIAL Global Virtual lounge - Parenthood Series: Supporting Parents of Differently-Abled Children Participants: * Tom Ellis, Director, Ad Creative Technology at Verizon Media * Tara Leniston, Author of "Coming Home to Autism" * Sandrine Stresser, Global Marketing Controller, Britvic Parenting a child with a disability, additional needs or who is differently-abled can often be a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. It can be really hard to get the right advice, care, schooling or even just talk to others about it as you may feel they might not be able to understand it fully. In this week’s DIAL Global Lounge, we’re bringing together a group of parents who have differently-abled children. We’re asking them about their stories and advice from parents to parents. Discussion Points: * What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about yourself from being a parent of a differently-abled child? What advice do you have for parents with differently-abled children? * How do you teach your children about diversity & inclusion – and what should all parents be teaching their children about others who are differently-abled? * What unique obstacles did you face as a working parent with a differently-abled child? What support was your organisation able to offer you? What do you wish they could have offered you?
