À propos de ce contenu audio

Join us on Planet Puberty where we launch into the mood swing Milky Way, float by the BO black hole and gaze with wonder at the menstruation constellation.


Puberty can be a tough time for all young people but for kids with intellectual disability and autism it can be even harder, for both them and their parents and carers. On the Planet Puberty podcast we aim to make puberty less of a bumpy ride by talking about the challenges, joys and opportunities that puberty can bring.


We chat to parents and carers about their experience of supporting a child with disability through puberty. We also talk with professionals about tips and tricks you can use to help you and your child navigate this new world.
