12 engl. | With a sibling's view: How the Irish Dr. Fionnuala Tynan is researching WS with teenagers and puppets ...

In this episode, Dr. Fionnuala Tynan takes us on a trip to Ireland and how her younger brother Jarleth shaped her childhood and choice of career. How she first read about Williams-Beuren syndrome in the early 1990s. And Fionnuala talks about how she taught her brother at school and why many families are burdened early on about whether they should send their child with WBS to a mainstream or special school. We also talk about how she and 12 children and young people came to develop a new educational guideline for WBS and why it is called MOWL. She gives tips on why puppets are important in educational and research practice. What her most important lesson from the last WBS research project was. And many more interesting insights!
