disabled children

On this episode we chat to Lorenza who's daughter Eliza was diagnosed with Charge Syndrome. Her diagnosis meant that Lorenza would have to navigate a new and unknown world of disability, including learning Signlanguage to enable her to speak with her daughter. Their story is full of triumph and positivity through all the tough things they have gone through, including Lorenza now teaching Singlanguage and having a free app for people to learn.
