Born to Be Different

Episode Two

The parents deal with the medical problems, and the mixed emotions associated with disability, but also experience the pleasures of parenthood. From the initial shock of diagnosis, the series charts the day-to-day practicalities of coping with disability within the family. The children are now approaching their second birthdays and some will face major operations; others smaller, but no less significant challenges. And as the nature of their children's disabilities become clearer, their parents are forced to make important decisions.
