Painting a full (and beautiful) picture of your child for the NDIS

In this episode Mel chats with Ingerlise Svaleng, the founder of "kindness project" 21 Gifts, about how we can advocate for our child’s strengths and passions in a system that's geared toward their so-called deficits.Ingerlise is from Norway and now lives in the Sutherland Shire of NSW with her husband and two daughters, four-year-old Lola and Maia, who is seven and has Down syndrome. Through partnerships with 120+ hospitals across Australia and New Zealand, 21 Gifts delivers beautiful little suitcases, bursting with gifts, to parents of babies who’ve just received a Down syndrome diagnosis.
