Best use of media
Parents who use social media – YouTube, Instagram Stories, Facebook stories, Facebook Live, Periscope, Podcast or similar to share their experiences. They don’t have to have a blog site.
‘The Skies We’re Under’ podcast
‘The Skies We’re Under’ is a podcast by and for
parents of people with complex disabilities. Author
of ‘The Skies I’m Under’ and nurse, Rachel Wright,
has authentic, funny and sometimes sweary
conversations with fellow parents, Sarah Clayton
and Lucy Parr, about a different kind of parenthood.
It’s for all of us trying to get from one end of the
week to the other, whilst bridging the gap between
the life we expected and the one we are living.
‘Happy Hands with Hallie’
‘When my teenage daughter was younger and
diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD),
social media wasn’t really a thing and watching Hallie
is reminiscent of my daughter’s younger years.’
The Atwal-Brice Family
Paul and Michael are disability and inclusion advocates and campaigners as well as being ambassadors for numerous children’s charities in the UK. Over the last 20 years, campaigns they have fronted include the legalisation of medicinal cannabis for difficult-to-treat conditions like drug resistant epilepsy and have also featured in several national media campaigns.
‘Our Altered Life’
Charlie has changed my life. Literally. As a new SEND parent, I found her page a breath of fresh air, and sometimes the slap back to reality I needed. She tells the truth, good and bad, but her posts always end with a theme of positivity that makes you feel less alone and more capable.
