In the My Life documentary about disabilities and differences, Jazmine is determined to raise awareness about her little sister Amaya’s rare chromosome condition. Amaya’s condition is so uncommon it doesn’t even have a name but is known by doctors as 1Q43Q44 Deletion Syndrome. Amaya can’t walk or talk, but the bond between the two sisters is evident. Jazmine shares our family’s home where you will see all her siblings and see the usual chaos of family life.
This episode highlights the need for more conversations about disability, difference and acceptance. It also features PECS® and our own sweet and talented ex-PECS user Swaran and his brilliant Mum Mandy @TalemLaw.
