Thank you for visiting my blog. These are stories of the unique issues faced by people with learning disabilities and their families, inspired by my experiences of parenting Chrissy, who was diagnosed with the rare chromosome disorder, 1q21.1 microdeletion, in her twenties. If you're wondering if counselling could help you with the challenges that you face in parenting someone with additional needs, contact me: info@janealcockcounselling.co.uk

A brief update on Chrissy.
Lots of progress since I last posted.
Seizures and behaviours are now more stable than they've been in years. We finally got there! Chrissy has been able to go out and about, and is really enjoying life.
She now has the continuing healthcare funding that we fought for over such a long period. This should mean that she will get a better quality of care in the community.
She has a bungalow in Winchester through social housing and last week we selected a care provider, so it's all systems go. We hope to complete the transition by Christmas.
I'll post again when Chrissy has moved in.
