We want people to understand our “silent epidemic”, but how honest, open minded and willing are we to hear about the plight of others with disability? Do we look for the similarities, or the differences in the issues we all face? Meg Perez, will speak of a genetic condition called William’s syndrome, what it’s meant in her life, & then the recent finding she has also suffered an undiagnosed brain injury. So many people who have had brain trauma go undiagnosed, yet the symptoms are lurking right there. We’ll discuss the challenges of relationships, goal setting, and the obstacles involved, when you’ve had a diagnosis since birth.
Terry Monkaba, Exec Director of the Williams Syndrome Association, who also has a 29yr old son with the condition will be joining us. More at Williams-Syndrome.org
