James Leach has a line he uses whenever someone tells him that his son doesn’t look like he has Down’s Syndrome.
“Ah, it’s his off day,” Leach said with a laugh.
He and three other special needs parents discussed how to handle awkward situations like those and other challenges related to special needs parenting during a July 25 webinar hosted by Shield HealthCare, a medical supplies company serving caregivers and people living with medical conditions.
Though parenting was the topic, much of the conversation focused on how to survive being a special needs parent – a topic we Joubert Syndrome parents can always use to learn more about!
