Navigating parenthood with young children can be a huge challenge for all parents but even more so when you are living with the affects of brain injury.
In this episode, Julia and Elizabeth talk to Allison and Rob Allan. The couple had been together for just two years when Allison had a stroke, aged 25, leaving her with some physical and cognitive impairments.
Now they have two young girls aged six and three, Allison is finding her cognitive abilities are being significant tested with the demands of family life.
She talks candidly about her struggles: navigating noise, toddler demands and entering a new social community at the school gates.
Rob, who is a physiotherapist, talks about how his job has helped Allison and the couple explain some of the strategies they are implementing to help with overwhelm and fatigue.
Allison has a degree in fashion design and learning to sew again was a huge part of her rehabilitation. She is using her skills and passion to make accessible clothing for disabled people, you can read more on her blog My Accessible Wardrobe.
