Have you ever imagined your child owning their own home? Not such an unusual question for most people. But if your child has Rett Syndrome, this sort of every day dream is often out of reach. Or at least, it might feel that way.
My guest on the podcast today is Zillah Rainback who managed to achieve exactly that on behalf of her then 19 year old daughter Hannah, who has now lived independently with support for ten years, in her very own home.
