Episode description

Kira Brady tells the journey to her son’s diagnoses, which include cerebral palsy (CP), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cortical visual impairment (CVI). We marvel at how it can be so difficult to get a diagnosis even when, in hindsight, Mason is considered a “textbook” case.

A few things come up:

  • Throwing chairs in the library.
  • When a child doesn’t recognize his classmates.
  • A former student who paved the way.
  • Transitioning to kindergarten during a pandemic.
