Michelle - Parent Carer

In this episode, we meet Michelle, mum to a five-year-old who was first recognised as having additional needs when he was just 18 months old. She talks candidly about navigating challenging behaviours, the long journey through assessments, and the struggle to find a school that could truly meet his needs. With her son now settling into a specialist setting, Michelle shares the relief and hope that comes with finally finding the right support.Michelle also reflects on the reality of putting her own life on hold — stepping back from work, missing out on social opportunities, and restructuring everything around her son’s needs. Despite this, she’s become skilled at sourcing advice, funding and practical help, and offers invaluable insights for other parents facing similar barriers. This is an honest, informative conversation about persistence, advocacy and the unseen work so many parent Carers carry every day.
