      On this episode of Why This Now? by Re:Set, we bring to light the journey of raising a child with an intellectual/developmental disability.

       

      Founder of support platforms for parents of children with special needs in Kenya and a mother of children with genetic conditions herself Christine Mutena, along with Meghnaa Surana, mother of a child with Down Syndrome and founder of a support group for the Down Syndrome community, open up about the stages of life a parent of a child with an intellectual/developmental disability goes through, from happy milestones to disheartening setbacks.
