In episode 17 of The diaries of a SEND parent, I’m joined by the incredible Charlie Beswick who runs the well known and loved SEND account @outalteredlife
Charlie is mum to twin bows Harry and Oliver and a passionate advocate and voice in the SEND community.
In this conversation she shares her inspiring Journey with Harry who has a rare craniofacial condition called Golden Har syndrome and is diagnosed with Autism and a learning disability.
She discusses the initial shock of his diagnosis, the emotional turmoil of processing grief and expectations and the complexities of sibling relationships. Charlie highlights the challenges of accessing support and community resources, the importance of sharing her story and the misconceptions surrounding being a SEND parent.
She reflects on her personal growth, the joys and struggles of parenting and offers valuable advice for new SEND parents navigating their own journeys.
This episode is a raw and honest conversation about resilience, reality and the importance of community for SEND families. So whether you’re new to this journey or have been walking it for years, Charlie’s wisdom will speak to your heart.
