Episode description
Last year, the surgeon general warned that parents in the United States are overwhelmed and burnt out. One group of parents is often overlooked: the 1 in 15 with disabilities. Author Jessica Slice, who became disabled years before becoming a mother, says the experience prepared her for parenthood. Ali Rogin speaks with Slice about her new book for our series, “Disabilities Reframed.” PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
